CVS Caremark more like care not
We were on a cross country road trip and refilled our prescription prior to the trip. Then when we were four states away we got into a car accident that totaled our car and RV. We lost everything, including our medications. We talked to our doctor and insurance to get a refill. We called the nearest pharmacy in Cambridge, Ohio, to confirm they’d received the refill from our doctor. They had and we got a text to come in and pick it up. When we arrived, the tech started to ring us up and then another tech, Dorothea (?) looked us up and down and asked if we had even tried looking for the meds. Then she talked to the pharmacist, Bill, who asked to see our police report. Then he said there’s no mention of meds in the police report. Then he wouldn’t accept the fax from the physician or talk to the clinic about the order. He was rude, condescending and had no sympathy for the situation we had just gone through. I explained what had happened and if he could talk to the clinic and he refused. We needed to call them and have them send a prescription with specific words about filling the prescription early. He refused to even run the order through insurance. He just walked off in the middle of our conversation. When I called corporate hq, they said the pharmacist has the right to refuse to fill a request from anyone for any reason. He was just performing due diligence. So apparently part of that due diligence was eyeing me up and down and determining he needed to review my police report, not talk to my doctor about the prescription and make me wait to get a prescription that says exactly what he wants. Would this pharmacy and staff treat someone who is not disabled and a minority so poorly? I have never had such terrible service and I was not the only one who experienced issues on this day. I noticed they also gave another person of color a hard time for their order based on how they looked but no issues for any of the white customers. This is the third day since the accident and I still have not received the meds. I can’t change pharmacies because the prescription has already been sent in.
