It is an irresponsible act for our legislature to not intervene in this crisis!

No pharmacy should have to take a loss for any prescription. Fair market value and payment for all.

We need these small town pharmacies to assist in many aspects of health care. When you can't reach your family doctor, you can call you local pharmacist with medication questions. Also, many meds are perscribed as a trial, to purchase 3mo. supply only to find out that that particular med isn't working or are allergic to that med, there is tremendous waste. Best to have the option to purchase in shorter time frame.

As a senior medication doses can be changed by a doctor on a weekly basis which in fact costs more money to change. If they have their copays for scripts then buying more wastes more drugs (which can fall into the wrong hands) and costs our seniors higher out of pocket costs or Medicaid is charged more for the 90 day supply that had to be changed within a 2 week period. This contract is a monopoly making contract!!!

My independent pharmacy gives me personalized service that I never received at the chains. Bigger is not always better. Please pay these pharmacies a fair rate So they can stay in business.

People on fixed incomes may not be able to afford a 90 day supply of meds. It should be an option not a mandate on how much you purchase at any given time!

This change is unfair, I like my interaction with my pharmacy as they are helpful in concerns on my meds, and it's unfair to take this away. It's unfair to put that much medication in ones home, especially when someone takes multiple medication .

Don’t fix what isn’t broken. This is a lose, lose, lose situation. We must defend our communities against Big Pharma’s attempt to dictate pharmaceutical scheduling as well as upend community pharmacies.

Extremely irresponsible policy for policyholders, prescribers and pharmacies. I’m sure it seems the best for Geisinger’s bottom line but is detrimental in many cases to competent patient care.
Please revoke this policy.
And we wonder why there’s so many addictions.
Fix this! Save the independent local pharmacies
