Don't worry won't bore anyone with reason or gory details. LOL
But here is something new, at least to me: Although I was given 5 prescriptions for meds that had to be fill by the drug store there was one I had to purchase from the doctor's office. I started to give her my RX card but she said no they don't file forms with the insurance company I have to pay for the full cost. And it wasn't exactly cheap.
May be a necessity in this case but just for the heck of it I thought I would Google about doctors dispensing meds and came up with this:
Insurers Pay Big Markups as Doctors Dispense Drugs
However, as I said the insurance wasn't paying for this med, only me. I can't recall ever having to purchase meds from the doctor before, has anyone ever had to do that?

I notice the box, at the bottom, does say "Dispensed Only by Physicians" so I guess it's something that has be be monitored closely. Still I wonder how much of a markup there is. Probably not much, this IS the best doctor in the world! LOL

That seems odd to me, dispensed by physician should mean a prescription, not over the counter. |

Well it's not an over the counter med really. I've never seen a box containing meds with a note that says "Dispensed Only by Physicians". If anything a box or bottle usually says something like: By Prescription Only.
Like I said I was given 5 prescriptions to fill at the drug store, this one was the only one I had to purchase in the doctor's office. As a rule I don't think he dispenses drugs like addressed by the article.
First time for me and was just wondering if anyone has ever had to do that.
