I missed your expose. Most pharmacists are sheep and do nothing this will have consequences for them both.
I'm one of the few people at CVS that likes their job.
This is already happening.
They need to make CEs more difficult. There is no way youll have time to study for naplex every two years.
In some states, changes are happening on state level. Texas is passing a legislation regulating PBMs and opening up the possibility of local pharmacies to take legal actions against them. Basically means cvs/caremark may have a massive layoffs due to these lawsuits unless they get rid of their PBM.
But maybe if you're taking it every 2 years, the material will stay fresh in your mind and you won't have to study as much? But then again, who's going to pay for the study material for the things that do change...
Regardless of her position in the revolving door of retail pharmacy her words are no less true.
Well they'll never work for Walgreens again. And yes I have seen people quit working at Walgreens because they hated it only to come back, some that would later get fired. Something this public embarrassed the company and hurts the brand.
PBMs are the reason for fall of pharmacy profession. Everyone who works at chains dont get to see the reimbursements but those of us that work at independents do. Trust me, once we get rid of pbms and go back to the way we were compensated before, all of this problem will go away the next day.
True, but Wags will just say "This is just a disgruntled former employee."
Dream on.You live in fantasyland.
Yeap. Natalie Holloway syndrome or Emily's Law up in Ohio. Perfect examples of the media or law falling in love with a particular story.
Yessss. Thank goodness I don't even wear a white coat now.
You would be a tech if you had a paid off house? That's crazy talk. I would never be a tech after working as a pharmacist. I would much sooner jump ship to a completely different industry than ever work as a tech. And yeah, I have a paid off house.
There are more than 20,000 independent pharmacies. Their biggest threat is independent pharmacies. To combat vertical integration BS of PBMs a few pharmacists got together and created this, Insurance Solutions | Healthcare Partnership Organization | Exemplar Health. We shall see how this impacts the profession.
Well, as i mentioned before, PBM reform is happening as we speak. It may take time to fully take effect but once done, pharmacy landscape may look much better.
True. The chain's business model isn't going to change. That means that their employees will leave for better place to work. At that point, other places, pharmacies that are run by people who care employees and patients, would've invested extra profit into the pharmacy. If PBMs are controlled or removed completely and profit is fairly distributed back to pharmacies, more and better opportunities will arise for pharmacists and chain will continue to lose good quality people.
You confuse customer service with the fundamental function of getting a prescription correct . You blame shift by saying not everyone can handle retail. Even those with their nose up their supervisors butt and considered strong performers can't keep up with metrics. And that's the point to wring every ounce out of their employees. Some of the worst working conditions today and lawsuits of the future.
If you go to Walmart you will like your job more
Do they have 7on, 7off night shift at Walmart? No? Then you are incorrect.
