So, apparently my employer cut off the part of our health insurance that covered medicine through our primary insurer and bought coverage through a different, pharmaceuticals-only insurer. I didn't pay proper attention at the time and thought that they were just adding one of those "order by mail and we'll give you ten times as much medicine as you really need for only three times the price" things. So I've jsut been chucking all their mail in the bin. :-)
That this was not the case was demonstrated to me on Saturday when I went to collect prescriptions from the new pharmacy I've started using (Knowles Apothecary in Kensington, MD; I really like them and would recommend them to anyone looking for meds--they deliver, too, though I've never used that service). They rang up the bill, took my medical insurance card, and then came back and said my pharma coverage was canceled. I asked them to hold on to the order until I could straighten this out. Today I called around and got the info on the new plan and will take it to them tonight or tomorrow.
But since this change took place last fall, apparently, why has my old pharmacy (the CVS in Takoma Park, which I would advise people to avoid) been happily filling scripts based on my old insurance for the last six months? Who are they charging?
