I walk to the #CVS pharmacy near our house to get a prescription filled for my wife that she needs by Tuesday.
They don't have it in stock and can't get it until Wednesday. I get in the car to drive to the next CVS over.
The pharmacist there tells me they can't fill it because it doesn't have the doctor's NPI on it and it's signed with an ink stamp instead of an actual signature, which is invalid, so it would be illegal for them to fill it.

Mount Sinai says CVS subsidiaries receive payment for drugs from patients or Mount Sinai, then receive reimbursement for the same drugs from Medicaid. Instead of reimbursing Mount Sinai, CVS pockets the difference, which negatively impacts low-income patient drug costs. amny.com/news/mount-sinai-cvis… #CVS #Prescritions #DrugCosts #Healthcare #LowIncome #Medicaid #MountSinai
