Caremark PHC, LLC

I had a prescription that should have been partially paid by a pharmaceutical company's co-pay assistance program It took many months before I could get any answer as to whether I owed any money I was told that the co-pay assistance program refused payment, even though they paid the preceding month and the following month CVS refused to assist me to find the cause of the problem They sent my case to a collection agency, even though they refused to address the issue This process took many phone calls over several months

This is in response to your inquiry dated October 20, which was received on October 29, for a mail order prescription.I verified with a pharmacist, the member’s prescription was written for bottles; however, per the directions provided by the physician, bottles would last daysThe
plan allows prescriptions to be filled for up to a day supply; therefore, we are unable to fill a quantity that would take the member over a day supply.We are unable to credit the member the monies for this prescription as it was filled in good faith per the directions provided by the physician.I spoke with the member and advised of this informationThe member was not satisfied; however, he did not require any further assistance at this time

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does satisfy my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint #***. I want to extend my thanks to CVS for breaking with protocol to see that this situation reached the right result. I regret having to involve the Revdex.com to reach this point, but I am glad we were able to resolve the matter.May I ask for your guidance in how to print off/save the requisite documentation should I ever have to challenge this issue again? In other words, I thought this issue had been resolved previously, but sometimes it seems that CVS's left hand is unaware of what it's right hand is doing. I want to have clear documentation that this charge has been erased so that it does not get sent to collections or something of that nature.Aside from the above, I understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed as resolved.
Regards,
