RX Fraud?
Hello everyone. I was wondering how much RX fraud you run into as a
tech? We have relief pharmacists that work once in awhile when my boss
is gone. It seems like everytime my boss is gone, the criminals come
in. Just last week, I recongized a lady that came in with a rx as one
we have to really watch. I alerted the pharmacist and she called the
doctor from a back phone. This lady altered the rx. There is another
lady that has tried everything. She will steal rx pads from the doctors
offices. She alters written rx’s. The last time she called in her own
rx pretending to be a nurse at the doctors office. This lady has worked
the whole area around where I live. She has been caught several times
and seems to always get out again. I have a memory for faces and names
of these people. I don’t forget. How do you handle rx fraud?
