Life and Times of a Pharmacy Tech.

Just another BlogPharm weblog

The plot thickens.

Got into work. Pharmacist went to fill a script for Prilosec OTC. None on the shelf.

Asked our inventory person. Said they had just filled it yesterday.

500 bucks worth of Prilosec OTC stolen. Cosmetics girl says she saw two guys hanging out around her section messing with item tags. (They sometimes move tags around to demand the sale price on non sale goods)

Say she later sees em rush out with a backpack and the alarm goes off. They cleaned up and found tags for a brand of backpack the store sells.

I hate shoplifters…

Second was an insurance reject. Insurance company says it was filled at a pharmacy in Puerto Rico. I live in New York.

Called patient. She used to live in Puerto Rico with her sister, until she moved up here. Her sister, lives in Puerto Rico.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Her sister shares her first and last name. Just different middle ones. The insurance company has our patients address on file Puerto Rico…

Apparently they only overlap on one medication, and her sister has been using her card for almost a month without anyone noticing…

I love insurance companies….
