So I know I ask random questions on this board but I just got hired at this independent pharmacy and worked my first full day today.
They just opened this pharmacy back in March and I was told that it was open by the same name in another area for 5 to 6 years which I can verify it on google, just not when it was opened.
I was introduced to the other pharmacist yesterday and he showed me how things were done there. He seemed confident that everything there was ok and nothing was going on.
So, a big problem with this pharmacy is that there is a pharm tech that does everything like she is the pharmacist.... I don't know if that is typical but she verifies all the CIIs and puts the ICD-9 codes on them.
Basically, I think it is a pill mill... they are only doing about 10 Rxs a day and they are all like CIIs.
Like I said I don't feel right about the place but its hard for me to judge if there is anything wrong with it.
I mean all the CIIs are valid, and verified. Most of the patients are from the area and have filled there before.
I had one guy come in who has a address and Rx from about 150 miles away. I filled his Rx, I didn't think about it til after the fact.... but the biggest reason I filled it was because the tech insisted that he has been there before and it wasn't a problem.
So, I was thinking about staying there a few months then getting the f outta town, I just wanted to hear what other people think about this.
