@AKgirl2, I'm not sure if it was a pharmacist or a tech.   I just called CVS back now, spoke to the same person, and told her I really can't understand why/how an insurance company call tell anyone how much medicine he/she should take.   The CVS person told me she has heard of this before.   I know I haven't.   I'll call my doctor and insurance company Monday and see what happens.  Now I'll fret and be anxious about this all weekend.

I actually had a pharmacist refuse to fill a prescription for my five year old son. She had a "conscientious objection."  I wanted to punch her in the conscientious nose.

@CareBears, I'm sorry to hear this for you.  I hope it gets straightened out and that you don't have to wait much longer.    I think it's terrible you have had to wait this long.

@proudlyfromNJ, I'm in NJ also.  I hope it works out for you.   Good luck and let us know.

@PurpleBunny, very good point and thank you for it.   I just called CVS and spoke to the same person who called me, so guess it's not a scam.  Just what I or anyone needs, right?

@PurpleBunny, I meant to also say that the person didn't ask me for any personal information.

@skuggles, boy, you are so right.

Insurance companies wield a lot of power, we're at their mercy.

Good news. Always better to be safe than sorry. I did a quick google search and there are actual CVS Pharmacy scams out there.

The doctor will probably have to explain to the insurance company why it's medically necessary that you have what he prescribed.   You should call the doctor's office    Sometimes the pharmacist will.   

Always something...
