Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Lou there is help out there. You have to go get it. It won't come to you. I've learned this the past few months. Let me know if you need help to get started after this following info. First of all have you called Betaseron maker and asked for help? They will. Do that first. WalGreens has no right to say anything about how many meds you're on. As long as they don't interfere with each other then you're ok.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 That's also an invasion of your HIPPA rights. Unless you sign written consent, they can not diclose anything about you, your meds, how many or how much to your sister. And ethically, they cannot state wether you on "too many" 'Shirley wrote: Lou there is help out there. You have to go get it. It won't come to you. I've learned this the past few months.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Excellent advice, Shirley. Have you ever given Walgreen's a note or permission for your sister to act on your behalf regarding your meds? If not, I believe they are in violation of the Hippa privacy laws. Here are some links to look over.http://www.hhs.gov/news/facts/privacy.htmlhttp://health.state.ga.us/pdfs/ohip/phi1.5.pdf http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/privacy.htmlAnd please follow Shirley's advice to call Betaseron for help. Have you checked for Patient Assistance programs from the manufacturers of your meds? Are you on Medicare yet? If you don't have Medicare or any drug insurance you can get a discount on your meds from http://www.togetherrxaccess.com/home.html Good luck Lou. Let us know what what you can find as far as help goes. Sharon I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. Lou Lou there is help out there. You have to go get it. It won't come to you.
