Oh, where to begin? Let's start with the fact that I have been going to this pharmacy for YEARS, I'm always respectful, patient, and understanding. I have state insurance and I used to have an issue with my medication needing prior authorization at different pharmacies where I'd be waiting for hours to get my script. Well, I never had to do that at Martellas. But one day, about 2 to 3 months ago, I went in to pick up my script and I was told that they couldn't fill it. I was told initially it was a problem with my insurance. Well, this is Saturday, and later in the day, no one is answering the phone anywhere. Then I'm told by the one cashier who constantly talks and talks all about herself that they no longer accept my insurance, or any state insurance for that matter. Like what am I supposed to do now? I started to go into like a mini panic mode thinking I wouldn't have my meds. It was a lot of messing around and back and forth on the phone with different people, but it all got figured out, thankfully. That whole situation irritates me still, and I have no idea why, all of a sudden, they decided they were not taking state insurance anymore. I thought as a pharmacy, they had to take any type of insurance but I sure was wrong. I believe they are discriminating against people who are on welfare, especially with the way some of the pharmacists look at you from behind the window when they know that's the type of insurance you have. Not that it's relevant or anyone's concern but I do work a full-time job and still can't afford the necessities. read more
