In my opinion - Medco's business model is quite simple-
Create a "customer service" team that lies, denies, delays and obstructs their members from getting perscriptions filled - even "approved" generics. They know that with enough delay, sufficient numbers of "members" will simply give up - or die, allowing them to keep their fees, and not provide the service.
Should "members" be persistent enough to demand their medications - they simply buy counterfeits or substitute placebos dressed up like medication, pocketing the charges of the consumer .
They have no risk. As a reseller - they too are simply "victims" of their suppliers. Suppliers who are pushed to provide anything at prices below their costs. It's creating an environment that only criminals can afford to supply them. They've "out-sourced" the crime. 1281ea1

| 1. Written by natasha_jax on March 14, 2012 from san jose, california, US Several months ago, I posted a message here about one of the items you mentioned, i.e., that Medco was substituting placebos in place of the real drug. I know this to be fact because I've been taking this drug for over 13 years and never had problems. During the two years that Medco filled my Rx's, I experienced numerous occasions where I felt like I missed a dose because I started having symptoms that occur when a dose is skipped. I began to question whether I "forgot" to take the dose. I adhere to a strict schedule of one pill every 8 hours. Never did I miss a dose. The intensity of symptoms I had had to mean one of two things: Medco was using either counterfeit meds or placebos and pocketing the "real" pills which have a high street value. We have since switched to CVS and it's only been 3 months, but I've never had this problem. And I never had it for the 11 years before I had to use Medco. I don't believe this is coincidence. |
