If you get COVID in NYC, good luck trying to get Paxlovid. Capsule is sold out Walgreens discontinued it And CVS is charging $120 co-pay (and I have GOOD insurance) Of course, I had to drive to different locations to find this out because nobody answers the phones at pharmacies anymore.
*adds OTC medications to list of things to doomsday collect*
Paxlovid isn't OTC, unfortunately
😬
Walgreens is failing yall AWFUL. Smh Paxlovid should have a coupon you can use with your insurance though! Did they tell you that??
No. I was at CVS because Walgreens didn't have it. What coupon?
If you go to the iassist.paxlovid.com website, there should be a coupon you can get that the pharmacy can run in conjunction with your insurance to bring the copay down
Hmm. It made me fill out my information and then said I was ineligable for the Paxcess Patient Support Program :-/
If TMI let me know, but do you have TRICARE or anything like that?
No, I have private insurance through my job.
Okay, hold on a second. Did they tell you “why” you didn’t qualify?
It just says "based on the information you provided" All I provided was my name, phone number, and email. There's a number to call but they're only open during business hours. I'll call them on Tuesday.
I’m doing some investigating as we type lol I refer folks to get these kinds of COB coupons so the income verification is a new one for me.
They didn't even ask if I had a job, or if I had insurance. It's so weird!
i'll see if I can get them to reverse the charge and then i repay with the discount. Thank you!
Least I can do. Pfizer knows their med is unnecessarily expensive, but the pharmacy should’ve told you about that option. Feel better soon!!
Not we all have covid 😩
I'm so mad. The one time I didn't have a chance to put my mask on, on the subway smfh
Feel better soon. She took me through the wringer this week
Aww, no! I hope you're back to full health!
Much better thank you. I hope you can get your hands on some paxlovid
Yup. I have it, thank you! <3
I hope you get well soon, and have no lasting effects.
I joined Cost Plus and they partner with some local pharmacy for pick up but also do delivery. They don't have every med I use but I am moving whatever I can to them. Walgreens going private CVS has messed my scripts on the daily.
i'm so sorry you're going thru all this 💓
Nobody answers the phone anywhere anymore. Ring ring ring ring leave a message and we’ll get back to you. Never do
Understaffing. Why pay for 2 employees at a time when you can burn one out and replace them with the other? Support your local independent pharmacy while you still have one.
Don’t have one. Only corporations like Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid.
Correction: Walgreens and CVS. Rite Aid's chronic hiring of incredibly incompetent management (and scraping by off temps like myself) put the final nail in its coffin.
Or anywhere else
Respirators are so much cheaper, plus they prevent COVID! Get well soon!
