CVS Prescription customer service

Hi. I went to the CVS store to get two prescriptions filled as did my wife. We would have been new customers. I was told to come back in one hour. I did and was told that a prior authorization from my doctor was required and to come back in one hour. I did and was told to come back the next day. The next day I got one and was told to come back on Monday. My wife was told to come back the next day, she did and was told to come back next week but they could not give her a date. My medications are narcotic and as a result I have had to experience withdrawals which have been very painful and a nightmare. The pharmacist told me that my doctor was sending to many new people and that was why he needed to talk to her yet never said anything about not getting my medication except that I would get them the next day. I did get one but not the other and the one I needed I did not get. I was told on a Friday to come back on Monday. My wife was told they could not give her a date and her medication are also a narcotic and she is also experiencing withdrawal from not having them. I would like someone to contact me to get this resolved not just for me but for other people because when we were waiting, we heard two others state that they were going to go elsewhere and to not bother to fill their prescription so that tells me this is a major problem. I will give your company one chance to fix this if it is not resolved soon, I will be contacting my attorney general the pharmacy board as well as my congressman. This will not go away. It needs to be fixed. I am also considering contacting a lawyer to file a lawsuit for pain and suffering that was needless no doubt. I will wait one week to hear from someone at your company and if I do not, I will proceed with what I have said I will do.

Desired outcome: See above.

Her number is 401-770-4426 but it says to "enter your mail box number" I am getting more and more upset about this. Please someone call me. I did not want to go the litagation but if thats what it takes to make CVS aware of this problem I will have to do it. She left me this number to call but I cant leave a message? what is that about?

I waited in a drive through line for 45 min only to discover only one prescription had been filled when my doctor called them in at exactly the same time and date. Why? The employee said he had no idea why he was extremely rude as well... The drive through is always backed out to the road, it's absolutely insane, it shouldn't take that long to get your medicine!!! This needs to be fixed!!!

CVS I was not advised of the price of the Shingles shot prior to being given

I made an appointment with CVS Pharmacy located at 700 Main Street
Lanoka Harbor, NJ. for the pneumonia shot and decided to have the shingles shot as well. I had previously taken my flu shot.
Being that there was not deductible by Aetna for my flu or pneumonia shots I wasn't aware that there would be a deductible on the shingles shot.
When I was seated the administrator of shingles shot told me after he had given me the shot that I had a copay. Thinking that it may be $!5.00 or $20.00 I did not think much about it. However, when I went to check out, they handed me a bill in the amount of $199.00, This is ludicrous I would never have taken the shot had I been advised of the price that I would have to pay. I advised the manager that I did not come preprepared to pay $200.00 and was embarrassed due to the amount of people standing around listening to the conversation. She said that I needed to call my insurance company. i asked if she could check on it and let me know if I really owe that amount. She was kind and allowed me to leave. She called me the next afternoon and advised me that she had spoken to a representative from Aetna and was advised that I had a copay on the shingles shot. I immediately went to the pharmacy and paid the $199.00 that I owed.
I am writing this complaint so that CVS may set a protocol that if there is a cost to a shot that they would advise of it prior to giving the shot. I can't imagine someone that are on hard times getting the shot then having to come up with the money that may have to be taken out of their food or rent money. Luckily, I was blessed to have the money at home but, I did not take that much cash with me due to not expecting to need it. Honestly, I would not have taken the shot if only they had counseled me prior to getting the shot of the cost.
Take this information to heart and please set a protocol that the tech administering the shot will advise the patient of any excessive cost to them.
Thank you for listening to my vent,

Desired outcome: I would like to see a protocol set in place that required the tech to advise the patient, prior to giving the shot, as to the cost to the patient. oof how much the cost is assccieat

I suggest that a protocol be put in place that was require the tech, prior to giving a shot, to advise the patient of the exact cost associated with the shot if any. This could prevent an embarrassing saturation as I was forced to be part of. It would be a great asset to the realm of customer service.
Thank You

My wife and I researched GoodRx for a good price on the Shingrix vaccine. It is listed with the GoodRx coupon at $155.00. The CVS store #2236, 1600 Towne Lake Parkway, Woodstock, GA 30189 charged my wife and me each $183.31 for a total of $366.62. If we would have been charged the $155.00 as listed in GoodRX our total would have been $310.00. I paid $56.62...

CVS Pharmacy

I am a prescriber in Florida. I have become used to your pharmacists lying about orders not being on the voicemail. However one in particular warrants reporting. Store #3227 at 795 West Grenada Blvd, Ormond Beach FL 32174.
Med called to voicemail on [protected]. Naturally on [protected] they lied and said the voicemail was empty. It was called again that day. Next my patient was advised that CVS has NO VOICEMAIL! Why then was it empty, and why then is there a prompt for providers to leave a voicemail? The order was sent for the THIRD time via Fax.
This is deplorable. The pharmacist on duty at that time should be dismissed. He or she is NOT concerned with patient care.

I've call the pharmacy about 15 times today and have just been put on hold and no one picks up. This is a on going issue. I understand there are staffing issues but without the pharmacy answering the phone I have no other way to get my question answered. I need answers about having someone else pick up my scripts that are a controlled substance. I am unable as I am Covid positive.

CVS Pharmacy staff at 1101 New York Ave NW DC

CVS Pharmacist

I am a cancer patient and am having extreme difficulties getting my medications from the CVS store # 1481 in Waldorf MD in a timely manner. My doctor calls in my monthy medications that are due for refill on the 7th of eah month. My oxicodone was available for refill on January 7, 2022. I called the pharmacy on January 7th as the website indicated the prescription was still "in process" and was told my prescription would be ready by 12:30. When my husband arrived at 5:15 it was NOT READY! The following day I called the pharmacy again and was told by ASIA, an employee, that the pharmasist on duty the day of the 7th could care less about doing his job! That was most distressing to hear. My prescription was not ready until JANUARY 9th! Another prescription medication, Alpropizale was to be ready on January 11th. Again i go to the pharmacy and its NOT READY. I checked the website this morning and it is STILL IN PROCESSING. I need these medications to be filled ON TIME. I have been on these two meds for over 5 years now. I had to switch to CVS due to my old pharmacy closing. I am VERY VERY stressed out over this situation and am most concerned that an employee would tell me that you employ a pharmasist that deliberately withholds customers medications. I would like for someone to call store 1481 and get my alpropizale PROCESSED. I take 1mg a day and get a 90 day supply. I do not overtake these meds and am now completely OUT. I can be reached at [protected]

Desired outcome: FILL MY RX NOW

If I pay for something with my DEBIT card, I should NOT have to wait for my money. With a debit card, CVS receives their money immediately and there is no possibility that they will not. How is this fair as it takes DAYS for my money to appear??? As long as I have my receipt, the receipt shows that there was NO problem with the transaction and CVS would...

The manager (Carolyn - 5'2, light complexion, with long, dark hair) was next to her, didn't bother to chime on not having anymore test or apparently listening but came around from the register to start spraying disinfectant.
