I gave them my GoodRx card several months ago and they entered it in their computer.
So when I go, I don't have to give it to them again. The prescription for saline is for
a year with refills. I started it in February so they have that on file also.

I ask my doc for a paper copy of my Rx - they just print one out for me.

Rite Aid accepted Good Rx for Sodium Chloride Solution. The final charge was about $15.
@lilianna GoodRx has an app, which is more convenient than paper, at least for me!
@harrynsc The whole healthcare system is overwhelmed, top to bottom. Our current system was never intended to take care of the numbers of people today who need care. Call it an unintended consequence of the ACO. The winners? Insurance companies, politicians, lobbyists, pharma. Losers? Healthcare workers - the full gambit including pharmacies and us. There's a trend among young career doctors to leave the field. Who needs the barrage of bureaucracy and insurance companies looking over their shoulders questioning their medical judgement. Insurance companies claw back money from doctors if they think a note was insufficient, months and months after the care was delivered. Where else does this happen?
Nonetheless I find myself very patient with CVS Walgreen workers. Dealing with ill disgruntled customers all day is no fun. A smile costs nothing and is contagious. Sorry - my coffee must have had extra caffeine in it!
