Pharmacy Clerk vs. Pharmacy Tech.

Money, sometimes.
And more often than not, "Pharmacy Technician" title requires CPhT.

A Pharm Clerk is a glorified cashier--plain and simple!
😱 I would like to refute your statements sir, we are more than just glorified cashiers! My pharmacist has me type prescriptions, enter in patient info, pull meds, call patients, etc. About the only thing that I don't do is actually count the pills and place the labels.

It depends on the pharmacy I suppose. I am currently certified, and I do the exact same things I did as a clerk 2 years ago. I even called for PA's as a "clerk".
That's unusual nowadays to have someone who solely processes. That's how it was back in the day before electronic claims. Pretty damn good idea they do that though.
We rotate, but usually stick to one "station" the whole day, unless its a weekend. It helps things flow well
Ah gotcha, I thought you were referring to a dedicated insurance tech.
actualy...there is a problem "station" where someone fixes all of the major insurance problems, like prior auths for example, or calls for refills when faxes don't work. But then they float to whatever station they're needed at once those are done
