Prescription Not Filled Correctly
Date: 2/1/22
Location: Rockaway, NJ
Description: I collected my Vascepa 90 day prescription from pharmacy (360 capsules). The prescription actually filled was only 345 capsules (15 capsules short).
i went back to the pharmacy twice and complained but was turned back saying the prescription was filled correctly.
I counted the capsules 4 times. My wife also counted it to double check and came up with the same total 345 capsules.
Desired outcome: Rectify the complaint.
Customer service
As I approached the counter the pharmacist said just a minute, I said okay. Another customer less than a minute later stepped up and she waited on him immediately and never attempted to fill my prescription. Five minutes later another person stepped up to take my prescription using my Good Rx coupon and would not honor it! My complaint is that the original...

First problem. I got a text stating they were working on my prescription which was one of my heart meds. I went in 3 days later to pick it up and was told there running about a week behind. I told them I could not wait any longer because I would be out. I was able to make another trip the next day and get it.
Second problem. Went on line to see when they would be filling another one of my heart meds. It showed it had already been filled about a week ago. After spending 30+ mins on the phone on hold I was able to talk to someone about it and the said they did not know why it was showing it already filled. Again I told them I would be out of my med by the next day. So they put a rush on it and I was able to make another trip the next day to get it. While there I asked about my sons prescription for his needles that he needs for his diabetes. She said they were still working on that but would notify me when it was ready to pick up and it should be ready in an hour. I again asked if they would notify me before i make a trip. She said you. Well they never notified me so I had to spend 30+ mins. on the phone waiting for someone to pickup to see why it was not ready. We I spoke with someone they looked it up and said I don't know why you were not notified. So he was needing his needles so I ran over to get then and I was on foot not in a vehicle. I got to the door at 4:04 and it was locked because they have changed hours and are closing earlier than before. The lady working seen me standing at the door looking in and came to the door and asked what I needed. I explained I was told his needles were ready to pick up and I needed them really bad. She said we close at 4 you need to go through the drive up window. I said I walked and it would only take me a few minutes and my son needed the needles really bad. She could care less. If they would have called me like they promised I would not be having a problem. I asked the lady what her name was and she told me but I won't mention it unless I'm asked.
Desired outcome: I want better costumer service. I know people make mistakes sometimes because nobody is perfect. It does not cost anything to be kind to people. I don't want to spend 30+ mins on the phone waiting for someone to pick up.
Delay processing rx to charge copays
I called to order my Rx and system said it was too early (@ 12/23 or 12/24). Then I called on 12/27/21 & spoke to CSR who assured me my order would get processed and sent out as all was available.
I then receive my order @ 1/7/21 (mail has been delayed in our area so it wasn't unexpected). However, I find that they held my processing until 1/1/2022 and I had met my deductible in 2021. The prescriptions would have been no charge if processed on 12/31/21 but held them until 1/1/22 so I would have to pay the copays.
I am most disappointed at this since it takes $5000 deductible each year and I've finally met it only to be delayed to 1/1/22.
I would like to have these charges reconsidered as I feel copays shouldn't have had to been charged or at least let us order a few days earlier due to holiday delays and such to get our medications; rather than charge copays on 1/1/2022. So much for the holiday spirit and I've been with Caremark for over 10 years!
Could call in order on 12/25/21 of course, but they can bill me on 1/1/22.
Desired outcome: Reprocess and give me credit for copays charged 1/1/2022 or later.
Pharmacy employee
I've been going to CVS Pharmacy 1150 Saratoga St East Boston MA. for 15 years for my prescriptions. For the last few months I've been paying $385 per month for my daughter's Vyvanse medication. To save some money someone told me I could get a coupon from the manufacturer which I did. I went to the drop off area inside CVS because I knew they had to put the coupon in for a discount. The employee had an attitude from the beginning. I had explained to her that before I used the coupon I wanted to see how much I would save to decide if I had enough money to pay. She said go to pick up and wait there. She made me wait 10 minutes and noone else was in the store and 7 employees back there. She reluctantly came over and asked them name and came back with 3 prescriptions. I told her I only wanted to check about the Vyvanse so she said "What do you want me to do with the other ones". Then she sent me back to drop off and told me to write down on a piece of paper all the details of the coupon because she didnt want to look at the coupon in my iwallet. I did and then she said let me see your phone and then got someone to help her. After she told me to go back to pick up and wait there. 20 minutes later after she helped the drive thru she saw me waiting and said go home and come back when the discount is in. I am so upset. I called and spoke to a manager there. I could not understand his name on the phone it sounded like Johann. I told him my story and he said "sorry about that" and I will have a talk with her. I asked him how do you know who I'm talking about and he said he doesn't. I told him I was never going to that store again and he didn't say anything.
Desired outcome: Have someone call me.

I called the pharmacy around 9:55 this morning in request of a prescription refill. Unfortunately I did not get the reps name. Unclear of the pharmacist question when she asked me: what is the name? I asked, I’m sorry, my name or the name of the prescription. The pharmacist yelled back: YOUR NAME! My response to her was, MY NAME IS MANUEL! and I added...
Read full complaintNot given an appointment for covid-19 booster
My mother, who is 77 years old, went to CVS (540 Amsterdam Ave.) to get an appointment for the COVID-19 booster. She was told that appointments were not given at the store, so she was provided with a tel.# to call and set up an appointment.
My mother called the number on 1/31/22 at around 10:30 am and was placed with a Spanish speaking rep as she cannot explain herself well in English. After spending almost an hour on the phone answering questions, she was told that she would be getting the booster for COVID-19 as well as the Flu shot. My mother expressed that she did not call for a flu shot and that she only wanted the booster for the COVID-19 vaccine. The rep told her that she was not giving her an appointment unless she agreed to get a flu shot or provide a certificate from her doctor that she got the flu shot somewhere else and that she was over her time.
My question is this: why is CVS forcing customers to get a flu shot and denying the booster for COVID-19 on that basis? As far as I'm aware this is not mandatory. People have the ability to choose what they want, and CVS does not have the authority to mandate a flu shot in order to get a COVID-19 booster.

Covid shot / pharmacy
I made a 2:15 appointment for a COVID booster shot at the Livingston, CA location. I arrived on time and checked in online as asked. At the counter I was told, rudely, that the pharmacist had just walked out for her lunch break and I would need to wait 30 minutes for her to return. I informed the counter server that I had a 2:15 appointment and she, very...

I see regular lack of support for CVS employees at 313 Washington Street, San Diego, CA 92103. These staff endure regular arguments with angry argumentative hysterical individuals, feces on the sidewalk, encampments, on the CVS sidewalk, robberies "under $950 in California." This staff is incredible with knowledgeable friendliness. I live nearby and see...

Read full complaintIncorrect explanation of payment.
I have been a customer of CVS/Caremark for over 40 years. I was never informed that there was a $17,000. maximum. Having had 5 surgeries due to nasal polyps, my doctor prescribed Dupixient. On May 28th, 2021, I called Caremark and was informed that there is no co-pay for this medication. Never was I informed that Caremark was paying the price for this prescription and was being taken out of the $17,000. In all the years of dealing with CVS/Caremark this came as a shock to both me and my wife On January 27, 2002,I was informed that after the next order of Dupixent we ill have no money left of the $17,00 Now as a result of your negligence of not informing me of this important information, we will eventually be out of prescription funds until September. We must rely on various discount cards before placing orders with your company. I will never be able to use Dupixent, which was an invaluable medication, to my condition. Information of this type should be revealed to your customer before an event of this happens, not afterward. My wife and I are anxious being seniors and must rely on various medications which we must take the time to look for lower prices.
Desired outcome: I want our medications covered until September. We should not be penalized because of your negligence. All customers should be informed when a medication will have an impact on their maximum.

On January 25, 2022 I went to this CVS, which I have used for years, to find Hibiclens, get copies of medication history and a flu shot in preparation for a surgery on January 31st. I needed to use the restroom and was told I'd have to be escorted back there. First the signs were confusing and I had trouble figuring out which door to go into. Once I got in...

Desired outcome: Provide info if they are getting federal shipment of n95 masks

shopping carts
There is only one shopping cart in the CVS in the East Haven CT store that is the corner of Main and Forbes street People have walked out of the store because of this People are taking them home so is there a deterant to prevent this I am a steady customer of this store and enjoy going there. The people are very nice so it is a pleasure to shop there but when there is no cart to shop with it is not as pleasant Thank you
Desired outcome: more carts and how to keep people from taking them home
Withheld part of receipt
The pharmacy cashier purposely did not give me all of my receipt. The part that contains store coupons built up from purchases over time and other information. I called her out and she quickly balled the receipt up and mumbled something. This appears to be a new clerk.

I see i was very very helpful to people. I know cvs will not respond to me. I am going to teach everyone who complains about cvs how to file a complaint with the state. No more of these complaint forms and nothing gets done.
