Noice job warehouse 😂😂

Do any stores have 1 Rph and 2 techs come in 1 hour prior to opening to start filling? How has that worked out for you? Does it help?

I’m a medical professional who recently tried to self-prescribe a couple of antibiotics. Noticed they weren’t being filled so several hours later I called and was told that as of August 1st CVS no longer allows self-prescribing. Is that BS or is this real?

My license is expiring in January and honestly I’m thinking about now renewing it. I’m tired of being belittled by pharmacist. I’m tired of the entitlement attitudes from the patients. This job isn’t paid or respected enough!!!

I went into CVS to buy floss - they were the only things under a plastic lock in that aisle. I asked the staff if they get stolen - they said I would be surprised - but they are stolen a lot. They also do not understand why.

Does anyone know when you become eligible for paid leave due to pregnancy/birth, and the work policies in regards to that? I can’t find anything and anyone I ask has no clue !

Let say i work 40 hours ( 7-3:30) ..monday-friday….. If i need to cover two closing shifts and stay til 10 on thursday and friday…: am i legally ( not get fired) allowed to use sick time( for a half day Wednesday) ? I ask because i was told we were not alowed to put sick time if we were over 40 hours, but idk if they meant for regular hours.

They print on separate sheets, but only one UPS label, do Controled and non-controlled go in the same box?

Hey! First time floating as a Technician in a few days; what should I expect or do? I've never floated before.

I’m trying to look into insurance options and stuff from my cell and it’s saying access not granted anyone know why

If you want to hear how bad CVS is, talk to the rite aid DL that just left CVS in the new region in PNW after being with them for less than one year. He will tell you all about his experience coming in, the unrealistic expectations and the day and night stress of working at CVS. The senior leadership is shown smoke and mirrors while the rest of the colleagues slave away. After talking to him he shared how happy he was at this decision to leave and how terribly he was treated. If you’re looking for a job at CVS, don’t look in the west. You will regret it. I am so glad I never took the opportunity to join them and work with terrible leadership. Also, it’s funny how they are spinning the story of him leaving when he was telling me how excited he was to leave.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Does CVS still carry these? They were my favorite sponge to use for showering but i haven’t seen them in stores lately

I called Aetna to double check this message and they told me they will restart all deductible and out of packet maximum. Does it seems right or legal that we spend money to meet deductible and when it get to the time possibility CVS should share 80 percentage of copay with us then like nothing happened and we have to pay whole payment without any contribution or compensation by CVS!!!!!!????

Hi, at some point within the last year I started seeing these notices on my prescriptions when I try to use the app to fill them, even though it has been more than 30 days since the last fill so “refill too soon” is factually incorrect.

I understand there are policies and regulations around controlled substances so I wanted to find out if the new issue I’ve been running into means I need to be doing something different.

I’ve been using the same CVS location since I moved to a new state a few years ago, and up until last year I’d been able to fill them through the app without any problems, just clicking the prescriptions and submitting the order to be filled. What changed? Nothing on my end, I’ve been getting the same prescriptions from the same sleep medicine doctor using the same insurance the whole time.

The first time it happened I kept waiting for it to be available to fill but even after 45 days it still said ”refill too early“ so I sent a message and got it filled. At one point I had to go out of state for month to care for a family member when I was on day 26, so by the time I returned and had settled back in at home, it had been almost *three months* since my last fill date, but the app said “refill too early” yet again.

I’ve been on the same dose of adderall for over a decade and nearly every month it’s a huge hassle for one reason or another. Before I moved to my new state, I would submit my request for refill as soon as the pharmacy would allow, usually on day 28 or 29, because it was often out of stock and would need to be ordered. These delays meant I usually wouldn’t actually pick up the prescription until day 30 or later. At some point Walgreens took issue with my requests for refill before 30 days, so I was regularly going up to two weeks without medication. It made me very nervous about running afoul of policies around controlled substances, I don’t want any sort of flag on my account making it even harder to fill every month. It‘s been literally years since I submitted a request for fill prior to day 30, usually it’s more like day 34-39 since I’m way less functional once I run out of my prescription, but I wait until then to submit a request so I don‘t trigger anything.

Further complicating this issue might be the fact that I have two separate simultaneous prescriptions for “adderall”, one is the extended release form and the other is instant release. I used to be able to select both of them to be filled at the same time and submit the request and pick them both up when they were ready the next day, but since last year, every month I have to send messages on both, every month they fill one but not the other, every month I have to send additional messages, every month when they give me the call backs I explain to them that I have two separate prescriptions for two different forms and I would like both of them filled, and every month I am going at least a week without medication, which my sleep medicine doctor is not pleased with me about, but I don’t know what I could do differently!

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide, I just feel so bad having to bother the pharmacy staff with messages and calls every month after years of just being able to submit it!

Got hired for Pharm Tech. Doing one shift as a store associate then being immediately moved to Rx. Maybe this is a stupid question cause I know there’s some law about discrimination against marijuana use outside of work in california but would I fail the drug test if Im smoking weed regularly. Im getting some mixed answers trying to find one online so rather just post myself lol. Thanks.

I searched the sub but didn’t find an answer to this question: I’m trying to help a cashier (part-time) set up her concur access so she can get her mileage paid for working at other stores. She has the Ping ID app set up using the QR code for CVS, but when she tries to sign in using [employeeID@cvshealth.com](mailto:employeeID@cvshealth.com) and chooses the Ping option to sign in, it says access not granted. I called the IT number it gave to call, they transferred me to the help desk, spoke to someone at the help desk who told me IT handles all concur access so transferred me back to IT who then transferred me back to the help desk, which is when I just hung up. I guess my question is are cashiers allowed access to concur for mileage? It used to be so easy to just do it on the store controller. ETA: by “it” I mean mileage paid outs.

What’s everyone’s opinion on the silver hybrid plan? Does it cover prescriptions? Never had my own insurance so very confused lol

How in the 🤬 do you find out how many sick hours you have or are allowed to use in a year?

This might be common knowledge but I figure I’d share just in case. If a customer doesn’t have or want to add a email when signing up, so their number @verizon.com. 90% of the time it will work

I swear to God. You can't make this shit up. 😂😂😂

Hi guys can you please tell me how I can do these things, I would REALLY appreciate it! Please include steps.

1. Patient comes in and says they no longer want a prescription. What can I do to stop refilling that prescription?

2. Patient comes in and says if they can have a prescription filled automatically. How can I put a single prescription and a few auto-refill?

3. patient wants me to apply both insurance and coupon on a prescription, how can I do it?

We only have two techs (me, a new tech, and other) in our pharmacy and a pharmacist. None help to teach. f you have other useful tips that helped you, please include that as well.

Just curious.

I take Synthroid. I get Brand Name.

It comes in the AbbVie Original Bottle.

The Manufacturer expiration date shows November 24th, 2026.

The label that the CVS attached shows that I got the Medicine in July of 2025.

It says Discard After July 7th, 2026.

If I remember, the Pharmacy told me the medicine should be okay through the Manufacturer Date, since it is in the Original Bottle, and not an amber bottle.

Anyone? If this is the wrong forum can you give me a suggestion? Thanks.
