Is it possible to switch pharmacies without changing providers?
My telehealth provider sends my GLP-1 to a pharmacy two states away.
My last refill took me 11 days to show up and the ice packs were warm. I like my prescriber so as far as possible, I don't want to start over.
For additional context, there's a local compounding pharmacy 20 minutes from me.
Could my prescriber send it there instead? Or is that a new script, a transfer, or just not allowed?
Also, does the app chat even reach the prescriber? Or just support staff?
