I don't do mail order with Humana since they royally screwed up a prescription of mine - they withheld the medicine and wouldn't tell me why or call my doctor either - they could have killed me. They were unapologetic. Peggy

@pfbacon Hmm. Did they give you your medication eventually? I've never had any problem with them. They always send a text or voice message when it's getting close to the refill date, sometimes sooner than I need. My problems are with doctors sending my prescriptions to the wrong pharmacy. I always give specific instructions, but I've spent hours searching for where my medication, often something that I'm out of. I have 3 pharmacies on my list, a local Rite Aid for something the doctor wants me to start taking that day, the Walmart in another town where we go to church for a new or short term one that can wait until Sunday, and Humana for refills and medications that require a fresh prescription each month from the doctor. It can be a merry go round.

I don't have Bi____ fill any prescriptions because they made a major mistake and gave me a medication used to calm problem patients in mental health facilities. It caused the classic symptoms of Parkinson's, observed by my neurologist. I took it for a month, and happened to be talking with the psychiatrist and he asked how I was doing on - I don't remember the name of the medication - and when he said the name, my wife alerted to the fact that it didn't sound right, and the psychiatrist came (mildly) unglued. He said it wasn't the first time he'd seen that happen. I sued the company, went to a jury, and I barely got the expenses I'd incurred.

It's likely that most pharmacies, if not all, botch things at some point. I shop at the store, but not their pharmacy.
