Need a new faxed or written prescription. Medicare does not believe in verbal prescriptions, transferred prescriptions, unicorns, verbal clarifications or leprechauns.

It's the government. Everything is inefficient. What jacka** came up with this rule>?

I cringe everytime I get an Rx that reads "Test strips and lancets as directed".. Then I look in their profile and their over 65 or they hand that red, white, and blue card.
