Actually, when I talked to the Optum RX people, they said yes, they could send controlled meds via either Fedex or UPS or whatever they use, since it's not going through the regular postal system. Don't know where they send prescriptions from, where their major headquarters is (probably in another state). The next three months of psych meds will be through Walgreen's, but Optum RX did send me Tramadol and Clonazepam (Clonapin) before without problem, and I've got braille labels on each of the bottles.

If it's mail order, you can't get your controlled stuff there, though. Stupid California rules, anyway. They make it hard for those of us trying to do the right thing. If someone wants to abuse their drugs, they'll figure out a way to do it. You'll still have to get your controlled stuff the old way, probably. :(

Very frustrating. That's why I want to have everything eventually transferred to Optum RX which is the pharmacy nationally for United Health Care, my Part D insurance. They actually braille medication bottles on request.

Yah, on the same kind of thing, Envision America was talking about how Wal-Mart could get their machine and we could then have talking bottles. Well, I took the info to my Wal-Mart, and got nowhere with it. Yah, maybe Wal-Mart corporate has cleared it, but it's up to the individual stores as to whether they wish to participate, and guess they pretty much don't.

Linda, my prayers are with you. Loosing prescriptions is no fun; particularly when you must deal with middle people. Last year I thought I would get scrip talk, but the drug stores that went with it did not do delivery, so I went back to my old drug store; but then some times I mix up my medicines and have to call someone.
Hope you get better soon!
