After getting Walmart+ for free(credit card offer), reviewed their pricing for medicines and found that most of what I was getting at CVS was bit cheaper (give or take few cents)... so transferred all my CVS meds to Walmart Pharmacy. Then after a week, ended up transferring them back to CVS and here's why.
First, Walmart would not fulfill 90 days of some of the medicines, as the clerk stated it, they said, my insurance was limiting it to one month at a time, which was BS because at CVS, they had no problem fulfilling the 90 day supply.
Second, co-pay for one of my meds was twice at Walmart than it was at CVS
Third, with each visit, you got a different service. The first visit, the clerk was bit rough... I ignore it as the times we are in... second visit, different clerk was nicer and more welcoming. Additionally, the 2nd clerk was like, "I see you have a credit card linked here, did you want to charge it to the linked card?" I said yes. Third visit, got the same person as the first visit, I asked them to charge it on the credit card on file, was told, that no credit card was on file. How is this possible? Different clerk was able to charge it to the credit card on file, the other says credit card is not on file... wtf.
Fourth, when I transferred the meds back to CVS, two meds were not transferred. CVS was told that those two did not have any refills left in them, when in fact the doctors office sent refills few days prior to the transfer, so I know they had refills on them.
Inconsistency is the reason for the transfer back to CVS. In looking back, should have just kept it at CVS and not transferred. Lesson learned! read more
