Cvs
Pharmacy ripoff insurance scam

Just a heads up to all of us with HMO insurance plans that frequent CVS Pharmacy. If you purchase a prescription that costs less than your copay (like amoxicillin - around $5, we have a $10 copay) they still charge your insurance company 10 - 15 cents for that prescription, even though you've paid the full value.

In speaking to a former CVS pharmacy employee I find that it's a big scam. They do it because they can get away with it. The insurance companies just pay the claim, because it costs them more to question it. And all those 10 - 15 cent claims add up to $1000's corporate wide.

This cannot possibly be legal! It drives up the already high costs of insurance premiums. As a self employeed person I resent this.insurance is one of my biggest costs, and with a young family and a heart condition I cannot afford to be without it.
