if we need a refill on something, the pharmacy just calls the doctor and gets an authorization. Our singlular is written for 3 months and when its past 3 mo, they just call no problem. As long as we see allergist once a year (we do) not a big deal.
I love our cvs, but I see it can definitely be different from store to store. there are 2 within 2 miles of me. the one that is closer is HORRIBLE! always long lines at the checkout, the pharmacy is slow etc. store not managed well. the other one though is awesome.
