Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Prescriptions on the road

Do any of you have prescriptions that you have to refill monthly in order to get your insurance to pay for them?   Blood Pressure meds or cholesterol or???????????

If so, how do you do it when one month you are in Tennessee and the next in Texas?  

Does Walgreens or Walmart or any other pharmacy have a nation wide data base that will fill a prescription at one store which was originally filed at a different one?

David takes a medication for borderline cholesterol (a family genetic situation) and we know we could fill a year's worth before we leave for Tennessee and then have the prescription reissued wherever we are a year later.  But that would cost a fortune since our insurance company will only pay for it once a month.

Thanks in advance for any experience or advice you have to offer.

Sherry

Both Walmart and Walgreens does and you can switch back and forth, it's almost seamless. Just take the bottle in and they phone and have the prescription switched.

We use Walgreens and once they put your prescription in their computer, you can go to any Walgreens and they can bring it right up and give you your refil, no matter what store you go to or what state you're in.

We've been very happy with them and have been able to find a store almost anywhere we've traveled in the U.S.

Any nationwide chain will be able to provide that service. I prefer WalMart only because if we are moving, I can get the rig into the parking lot.

The thing that came to mind, tho, was why you can't get a 90 days supply by working with your insurance and doctor. They are pretty common meds.

THanks a lot for the thought which I'd also had but declined.

Doctor is great to work with.  Insurance company not so much.   They are a PIA and it takes WAY too much time on the phone to get them to do anything.  Repeated calls and........well you know the scenario I'm sure.

Since I have no idea when or if we will ever be back here to this doctor it doesn't seem to matter whether we have to stop off once a month or once every 3 months to pick them up.  We'll for sure be in a Walmart somewhere at least once a month.

There is way too much to do as it is.  Don't need to create something else.  I'm into E-Z at that stage.

I have 3 prescritions filled at Costco every month. I have the same requirements from my insurance company. We order our prescripion on their Website and specify the store for pickup within the first few days of the month.
