How well do you know your druggist? Do you use the same pharmacy for
every purchase? Do they know you by sight?
Prescription fraud comes in plenty of shapes, colors and sizes. The
culprits are usually pharmacists - a real sadness.
Here are a few things that can happen if you are not paying
attention:
- Check your drugstore records every month or so. Were the
items billed to YOUR insurance all for you? It's common to
have an employee fill a prescription for a customer who
never ordered it and if your name is used to get it, you
will know nothing about it.
- First check if you received the proper prescription.
- Count your tablets. If your doctor ordered 40 of them,
did you get that many?

first couple of days, you might even have to check further.
A crooked pharmacist will take half or more of the medicine
out of the capsule.

In that case let your insurance company know immediately.
It's YOUR money that's being stolen. Fight Fraud America.
