CVS Your web site and answering system.

Your answering system goes through 15 minutes of advertisements before I can even get to even speak to someone. I didn't call you to hear all your advertisements, I have other sources for that, I called to talk to someone! And your website wants to send a text message to my land line, and its not excepting the same password I have had for years. What a mess you have made of your systems!

CVS Minute Clinic will not submit claim to Medicare

We went to the Minute Clinic in Berkeley, CA (CVS at 1451 Shattuck Ave) and got tetanus shots. These shots are covered by Medicare and we gave the clinic all our insurance information. However, we have received repeated bills from Minute Clinic. So today we called Minute Clinic and were told that they do not submit claims to Medicare, that we have to do so. This is ridiculous, and in the future we will certainly go elsewhere.

CVS Pharmacy

I called your corporate office to get assistance and was told to call each individual pharmacy regarding my issue.

Ju Kim 11911 Artesia Blvd Ste 101, Cerritos, CA 90701 has not worked for Kheir Clinic in almost 5 years and we're starting to receive fax for refills at our facilities. [protected] is an old Kheir Clinic Number and [protected] is our current fax.

Getting patient PHI should be your concern but the pharmacy and corporate customer service appears to not be.

Stores 9505, 9660, 9557, 16047, 9575

Desired outcome: I would like for the phone number and fax to be updated for the provider.

It sadded me to learn that CVS is closing in the small town of Andrews, SC, because Andrews has almost any businesses. To CEO of CVS: Some times you need to look at the people you have working for you.(phar.) I used CVS for many years as my store for medicines. For the last several years I discontinue using CVS because of the awful service I got from the people employed there. Andrews would be the number one drug store in Andrews if the folks you hire know how to treat people. " Especially the elderly folks. A lot of the customers do not use internet services. I hope there were other ways folks know how to complain when they are not treated in a positive way when during business at some stores etc.

CVS CVS Pharmacy

The CVS pharmacy on Post Road in Cumming, GA disconnects calls on purpose when it is close to their lunch time. I understand they only have that 30 minute window to take their break, but when I called it was fifteen minutes prior. I held to talk to the pharmacy to get my RX refilled because I was physically ill after running out of medication while out of town. After five minutes of holding at ten minutes prior to lunch I was purposely disconnected (someone picked up phone and disconnected). I called back and got the 'we are at lunch' recording. This is not the first time this has happened.

Desired outcome: I would like this pharmacy to stop doing this. I understand they have a lot of prescriptions to fill, but often when mine are said to be ready, I have had to wait up to thirty minutes to get them and I do so without complaint.

CVS Pharmacy

I took my very elderly mother in law for an urgent care visit and she was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. Prescription electronically sent to the pharmacy at Target 9901 Yk. Rd, MD store #16612. I checked on line - no information 3 hours later and called (3 times - disconnected twice after long holds). Pharmacists said the needed antibiotic would be in the next day. Clearly that was unacceptable. I asked to find another pharmacy with the meds. He transferred it to 1001 Yk. Rd Towson, MD store # 2216. He instructed me to call them. I did — 5 times, 3 times I struggled through the awful voice mail tree and was on hold for > 30 minutes each time (disconnected once) twice I called through the physician line (because, indeed, I am a physician) and once was on hold for 15 minutes and once I left a message with no return call. This antibiotic was critical yet no service, no email or text notification and then... the website went down. CVS is the worst — only use it because her Medicare requires it (that's my next source for a complaint.)

Joe Wiley, MD [protected]@gmail.com, [protected]

Desired outcome: Call back and some service

I went to CVS to pick up pain medicine for my mother on Saturday Memorial Day weekend. I had a price dispute on the previous prescription.. As I was trying to explain the situation the pharmacist spoke over me and said you are not listening. I will not argue with you. I explained that I would bring my prior receipt for proof. I was told it did not matter...

Those that pick up or drop off medications from the window stayed in line for almost 2 hours while two people took their Covid test and turned in the Covid test at the window. There were more than 5 cars behind him, I did not understand, but they should have picked up their Covid test and went to the back of the line.

CVS Ignores customer's calls

I am tired of this CVS Pharmacy on Millerville Rd Baton Rouge, La inside of Target. The store number is 17177. Each time I call the store to get information on my percription as a patient or customer, they never pick the phone up. When I call to talk them as a percriber, they pick up quickly and tell a lie that they're busy once they find out that I am not a percriber. This happens each time I call no matter what time of day and this is why I am moving my prescription elsewhere.

Seconds ago, I spoke to Delphin Adams who has the worse behavior ever. She made the biggest mistake in trying to talk over me telling me that I am not suppose to call on that line. She has a very nasty attitude so I showed here that I can have one as well,

Even Walmart handle its customers better and I am sure their clientele is a whole lot larger than CVS.

It's a good thing we have a choice.

David Bibbins, M. Ed.

Desired outcome: I only ask that customers and future customers are treated with better respect. ANSWER YOUR PHONE! No one is busy 24/7. She picked up immediately when I was not who I said I was.

CVS Covid Testing and Assessment

CVS what a joke for upper management. I scheduled an appointment online to take a covid 19 test at 6401 Precinct Line Road in Hurst, Tx. I am a VA which they take, I took the test and then was told to wait for the nurse to give me my results. I waited about 5 minutes and she took me to the back and started asking me alot of question and took my blood pressure and it did not seem right. She ask me to wait and she printed out my bill and they charged me for a assessment charges $99.00 and another $120.00 for the covid test. The covid test I agreed to but not the assessment. The nurse stated that it was a requirement when taking the covid test by the VA. So I called the VA and they stated that was not ture. I disputed the charges and they has some manage call me and she was a joke how did she get that job. They only care about how much money they can get from you, since the gov'tment is not paying for the covid test anymore. The manage stated that it is there new policy now as of April that all covid test requires this assessment for $99.00. I can not trust what CVS tells me now because someone is lying but they are not going to admit to it. My family and I will never use CVS again for anything.

Desired outcome: I want to make sure that the VA get back there $99.00 that I did not ask for.

CVS "kc" pharmacist @ sangamore rd. bethesda md, abuses customer and then refuses to administer scheduled covid vaccination.

Today. With great difficulty getting off an intense work schedule, I scheduled an appointment for a COVID booster vaccination at CVS Sangamore Rd at 7PM. I will preface my complaint by noting that over the last two decades, I have had excellent service at CVS and therefore my choice for the COVID vaccine.

I arrived early — at 640PM, registered on the phone app that I was in the store and walked upto the Pharmacist "KC" and made myself available for the vaccination. He retorted that they were busy on other matters and that I should come back after 645. I therefore left the store to minimize COVID exposure and returned ahead of my appointment at about 655PM and presented myself for my 700PM appointment. "KC" then tells me in a raised voice that I had not registered on the App. I explained that I had and showed him my phone and the app button I had used to register. He was unapologetic for his error.

At 700 PM I followed him to the booth and was about to sit down for the vaccination. When he told me he must give another man his vaccine first.

I explained that I was here for a scheduled 7PM appointment and it was now 7PM. He retorted that he had multiple 7PM appointments! Here in an environment of careful social distancing and time seperated appointments, "KC" tells me that not only are there more than one 7PM appointment but, he wants me to step out of the booth so he can vaccinate the other 7PM appointment first. I therefore had no choice but to leave the booth and allow the other customer to be vaccinated first. I was hopeful that the store surveillece cameras would have recorded this event. However, just to be sure I took a photo to capture KC Vaccinating the customer ahead of me while I waited. Photo attached.

When I was subsequently summoned to the booth, I explained to him that his logic was totally idiotic where he selects one and not the other 7PM customer, and in addition a process that is inconsiderate about cross infection of customers.

He took offense and decided he would not vaccinate me. Put another way he refused to do his job after abusing the customer with his inconsiderate and arrogant behavior.

The Shift supervisor Sheree was helpful but could do little to get KC to do his job.

Complaint by: Dr. Rajasingham arj.ind. [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: A written apology from KC.

CVS prescription practices

I am a prescribing MD with 20 years' experience. CVS must stop requesting updated Rx when they are good for and written for 1 year. CVS pharmacists must stop telling patients to not take a medication or to stop medications prescribed by MDs just because there may be a potential interaction. MDs are capable of managing risks and benefits, and telling a patient to stop a medication is practicing medicine, which pharmacists are not qualified to do.

CVS must stop cancelling Rx just because someone doesn't pick it up right away. CVS must stop telling pts they have "contacted the doctor's office" about a refill when all they have done is send an electronic request. CVS must stop requesting refills a few weeks before the Rx is expired at a year, when MDs are required to see pts to refill Rx. The current practices extort the valuable time of MDs away from their patients and, frankly, their families by whittling away at the insufficient time MDs have. Pharmacies are simply there to dispense medications as directed by the MDs. CVS needs to start doing its job properly - not more, not less.

Desired outcome: Fix all of the above problems internally and nationally.

CVS I received the COVID-19 swab test in October

I have made a complaint to my governor attorney general and have a case in the Virginia Department of Health due to injury of this test. I was feeling sick I did take the test because I was working for a company that is regulated by OSHA at the time. Within hours I was dealing with the most excruciating head pain dizziness eye pain blurriness and have been dealing with this situation for six months now. I am getting a runaround and I intend to include CVS making sure they are aware of my intentions. This test has taken MY ABILITY TO FUNCTION AND WORK. Prior to the test I had no issues and functioned normally.

Desired outcome: Compensation for damages.

CVS Pharmacy - 3101 Donnell Drive District Heights, MD. #17017

The Pharmacist at the CVS located in the Target in Forestville Maryland was very rude and hanged the phone call up on my wife twice! The last time my wife asked for the Pharmacist and she said hold on and hanged up again! She is the PHARMACIST!. Her name is Frankie. So we jumped in the car and made the 5 minute drive. We get there and tell her what had happen and she lied and said she didn't know who had answered the phone! When we heard the same voice coming out of her month, we knew it was her! We have been going there since 2012 and never had an issue with anyone there until today. She was very rude and disrespectful and should NEVER have a job like that. We are changing all of our prescriptions to someplace new. It's sad to be treated this way. I hope someone does something about this woman. She's going to treat the wrong senior bad one day!

Desired outcome: Needs to lose her job!!

CVS Exorbitant pricing

After going to 4 CVS stores due to the primary one not having the drug and shifting to another store I was able to get to 70 Princeton/Hightstown Rd. NJ to pick up my script on 5.22.22. The listed cost was $124.53, the Good Rx card showed $36.86 as the price at that location. Well, the pharmacist said that there was NO discount available, so I was forced to pay the full $124.53.

Then on 5.23.22 I went to the CVS (primary one) at 629 Abbington Rd. NJ to pick up another script. Once again Good Rx listed it at $17.79 yet I was forced to pay $23.41 instead!

I don't know what this chicanery is but I have clearly been ripped off! According to my figures you owe me $93.29. So, please rectify this egregious situation!

Desired outcome: Please refund the $93.29 that I was forced to pay n spite of what the Good Rx card showed as the price at that CVS. Note: I did adjust the pill count so the price it showed reflected an accurate request.

CVS Customer Service

I want to start off by saying I work in customer service and have also worked at a pharmacy so I understand that things get busy and service gets behind. But... with that I also feel like your customers do still need to be taken care of.

I visited the CVS located at 2712 FM 365, Nederland, Texas 77627 on Sunday May 22,2022 to pick up my husbands prescription and as expected there was quite a few cars in the drive thru so I parked and went inside to see if the line was any shorter. I was not, but, no big deal the pharmacy is always busy full of sick people wanting to get their medication asap. My issue was that there was only a pharmacist and one tech working in the pharmacy, and they were GREAT trying to help everyone as quickly as possible. The pharmacist even called for a Manager to please come to the pharmacy to assist BUT when the guy came from the front he proceeded to tell her in front of a line full of your customers that he was advised from his manager that if he had things to do he could not help the pharmacy... THAT WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL in my opinion... CVS employees need to work as a TEAM for their company and for the customers...

Thank you... Chrissy Nuccio [protected]@yahoo.com

Desired outcome: I would appreciate this matter to be handled and your employees to work as a team....

CVS Survey response

I responded to what appeared to be a legitimate CVS survey on May 6 2022. I provided my banking info as asked on may 6 or may 16 for shipping charges to pay for Fitpro device that was to be free. The shipping charge was taken by Manhatten extreme [protected]. Then on Fri May 20 $56.09 was taken by a other co. I have never heard of perfect gadgets online. This was unauthorized.

Desired outcome: Determine if this was a survey from CVS.
