As the title states as of today we can't use discount cards on OTC products, but this also seems to apply to magnesium oxide, iron, and other OTC stuff that we have specifically in the pharmacy. Anyone found a way to help customers? I'm charging 32.00 now for mag ox. I guess our script sales are going to drop and we just grab over the counter equivalents for all the OTC products right? If anyone has an idea please share! Thanks for reading.

Edit: max ox rugby costs 1.72 acq, awp 7.15 used to charge around 14.00 now 31.99 after this change for reference.

So yesterday, a doctor sent in a prescription for a patient for Zepound. This patient is a regular at our pharmacy, and we always fill the Zepbound for her. However, on this prescription, there was a different ICD10 code on it that was different compared to the previous ones (I’m assuming it’s because she is now at a healthy BMI), and when I tried processing it through the discount card, it rejected because her BMI was not in the range for coverage anymore. So I let her know this, and my pharmacist came over and told me to process the Zepbound with the ICD10 codes from the previous prescription. I kind of gave her this side-eye look, because I was under the assumption that that would be considered fraud if we did that, and she then told the patient that she would call the doctors office to make sure everything is correct. So I thought everything was fine, until today when she asked me why I gave her that look. I explained to her that I was unsure if it was right to do that, and she told me “Don’t question me like that in front of the patient again. I know what I am doing. She is a regular here and we always fill her Zepbound like that.” Was I in the wrong?

So, I got rehired again at Walgreens as a college graduate. But I was wondering on the pharmacy school track that Walgreens offers. I also forget the name and what it is called exactly. But I was wondering on how much time does it take to become a pharmacist through Walgreens. With that being stated I do have a degree in Biology BA, but before it was a Biology BS track. How many more years of school and or training would it take?

I work in Texas and want know your thoughts on Holidays? Like Veterans Day, thanksgiving day and Christmas Day? We will not be open but if you don’t work no pay. They say you want to get paid find another store. I find that jacked up!

Anyone help me how to enter new ins info like go to pt 3rd party unassigned, first add bin or pcn and sometimes Receipnt Id is too long do we enter all numbers plus what’s difference between recipient id and plan id ???how to add findinns also?

Hi! As the title states I have an upcoming interview! What should I expect? Will this position help me get a pharmacy tech position in the same location? I’m taking the ptce in July and this would be my first opportunity being in the pharmacy field.

Thank you in advance!

hey yall, I just got hired at Walgreens as a certified pharmacy technician and I wanted to know any pros and cons of the company. I also wanted to to negotiate my pay to $20 but ik that’s kinda pushy so I asked the store manager could we negotiate and she agreed! so I’m glad that wasn’t an issue, most times I don’t even get to negotiate. I was working at the hospital but it wasn’t a good match for me. It’s just something about hospitals that doesn’t seem to match how I work on daily, but anyways yeah
