On 10/29/24, I filled a prescription that was not completely filled. I have been filling this very prescription for the last 6 months where I received a portion of the prescription for 20 days and then going back to the pharmacy to obtain the last 10 days. When I filled the prescription, as usual, I got the partial fill. When I called back 20 days later, I was told that I would need to have a new script. I told the pharmacist that this was the way it had been filled for the past 6 months but because she was a "float", she said she could not do this. I then asked why I was not told on the day I picked it up, why I was not offered the rest, even if I had to pay for it out of pocket. The pharmacist did not answer this question but kept stating that there was a limit on how much the insurance would cover. The pharmacy did not abide by the amount of medication that was ordered by the physician that wrote the script. I expected that the pharmacist should have called me and told me about the issue and offered to fill it even if it was out of pocket. I have filed a complaint with the Ohio Board of Pharmacy as well.
Claimed loss: Did not receive all of the medication that was written for by my physician.
Desired outcome: The pharmacy abides by the State Board of Pharmacy Rules. It should not assume that the consumer is aware of all these laws and should explain to the consumer what the issues are at the time of pickup.
