[Pharmwaste] mail order prescription waste

[gressitt]

Michele, I have brought this up repeatedly, states don't seem to realize
that their policies actually contribute to the situation and many PBM's are
"out of state." Stevan Gressitt, M.D.

Hi ya'll,

 

Why can't we lobby the insurance companies to take care of (destroy) the
waste drugs?  They are the ones with the formularies and their preffered
drug lists that cause all this drug waste to begin with.  The patient jumps
through all their hoops, tries all their ineffectual drugs that they want to
pay for and in the end the patient has a cupboard of unused drugs.  Let the
insurance companies provide a return mail voucher and let them be
responsible for destroying the drugs! Let them take responsibility for their
ideas of "affordable and effectual drug regimens."  And it just doesn't have
to be mail order drug companies either this goes for everyone Medicaid,
Medicare, Medicare Part D, Private Pays everyone. They can send them to the
drug companies that pay them and the originators can destroy their own
product.  You can't tell me that these drug companies don't have
incinerators for their waste.
