Linda,
When I had caremark Mail they sent controlled substances via ups. I am no
longer on mail order.

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!
