Reply to comment by HanaBothWays in Adderall Fill in DC? by CandidateEvery9176

Oh interesting - I always get a "not eligible for delivery" note from CVS/Costco and thought that was why?

I get mine from my pharmacy benefits manager (PBM). A PBM is insurance that just covers medications and they will also dispense medications by mail. ExpressScripts and Caremark are PBMs.

I don’t know what kind of health insurance you have. You might have a PBM or you might not. If you do, you can look up how to start ordering your medication by mail. If you don’t there might still be a way to do it but you would have to ask your insurance company how to do it.

That’s annoying but if you take Adderall it should be on their formulary (list of drugs they fully cover), so if it’s a service they cover at all it shouldn’t be too much of a pain in the ass.

This is incredibly useful information, thank you! I'm definitely looking into that!

I have gotten incredibly good at bludgeoning my way through the healthcare system and I consider it a duty to share my knowledge with fellow neurodivergent people. I really hope you can figure out getting your medicine mailed to you, it saves so much trouble.

There’s an r/adhd sub and they probably have a post about this.

Appreciate it! And it looks like I'm eligible soooo looking forward to potentially getting some time back from dealing with perscriptions!
