5If my insurance card has the name of a pharmacy on it, am I obligated to use that pharmacy or can I go anywhere?
You may go to any pharmacy you choose, including local community pharmacies. Due to intense competition among the large chain drug stores, many have unfortunately used unethical marketing practices to misguide people and get them into their stores. One of the tactics include printing the name of a pharmacy directly on patient’s insurance cards. This confuses many individuals into assuming they are obligated to go a certain pharmacy. Now that you know, don’t fall for their trap!

Most large chain drug stores have already set the price for medications in their computer system and it cannot be changed by their employees.

9Can medications lose their strength if they are exposed to high temperatures?
Yes. This is a growing concern, especially in Texas, where temperatures in late spring and summer can reach over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Medications should be kept in an environment that is between 68-72 degrees, and when medications are shipped by mail order pharmacies, the temperatures in delivery trucks and mailboxes can reach over 120 degree Fahrenheit. This results in the medications losing its strength by the time it reaches you. This is the reason we have our medications delivered to us daily in temperature-controlled vehicles.
Many individuals are changing from mail order to a local pharmacy. For more information on this growing problem, visit: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/08/05/pharmacist-mail-order-rx-danger-in-the-texas-heat/
