I have had the same primary care physician for a few years and I like him and I think he is a good doctor.
I get my meds from a federal meds by mail pharmacy. On rare occasions, I take a generic sleeping pill which is a controlled substance. My meds by mail place will not accept a prescription for a controlled substance electronically. My doctor will not fax the prescription to my pharmacy, nor will he give me a printed prescription that I could forward to my pharmacy. It is legal for him to do so, but he just chooses not to. The doctor will send the prescription electronically to my local CVS, but I will have to pay full price for it instead of it being sent to me free by Meds by Mail.
This particular prescription is one I can just do without, but what if I was in a great deal of pain at some point in the future and my only option will be to pay full price for it?
If you were me, would you look for another doctor? Without looking like a nutcase right up front, how could I find a new doctor willing to fax my prescription to my pharmacy or give me a printed prescription?
Feel free to just tell me I am a nutjob and to just let it go.
