I read this article and was kind of surprised. Has this happened to anyone?

Express Scripts is not my first choice. They have lousy customer service and you have to go thru too many steps to get refills or new prescriptions filled...

It's simple....get a prescription and go to local pharmacy and get it filled.
I had to do this several times.....not like they can help it if the drug is not available .
Not like E-Scripts is a God given right
It's a shame but there are other avenues to get medication if needed.

Does it suck....yes.....but our copays are still better at local pharmacies than anything else out there.

MAJ Jim Woods I also use it for some of my meds. The problem with using the VA for some of my meds is that they can only prescribe what is in their inventory and they do not have the only muscle relaxer that I have found that works for me. Thank you for your reply.
