The pharmacy is the United Healthcare Mail order pharmacy which says just have your doctor call those prescriptions in. They will accept the filing of prescriptions for all schedule 4 drugs at the pharmacy. For that matter any pharmacy will accept a call from the doctor for a schedule 4 drug. I have been told that this is only a policy of the villages health system that they have decided not to call in ambian and Xanax and will treat them as if they were a narcotic under schedule 2. That even though this can be called into any pharmacy, the villages chose to have you pick up the prescription in person for these two drugs. So nothing to do at all with any law. The problem arises when up in Virginia when they say stop in and pick the prescription up. That requires air fare. So the only thing I can do to work around the villages rule is to locate a GP in the area where we are at and go through them. We recently began to snow bird to virginia.
