This is about Walgreens corporate…
This is about Walgreens corporate decisions/policy. Late night we have to drive 29 to 43 miles to get a covered prescription with our TRICARE insurance that requires us to use WALGREENS. If we could get our script covered at CVS we wouldn't have that far to go for a 24 hour pharmacy. Sometimes in an emergency we need a script at night or may have a question regarding our meds at night. But there are not any WALGREENS 24 hour Pharmacy Departments open in South Pinellas county. They tell us we have to travel to another county, 30 to 43 miles to a Walgreens 24 Pharmacy Department. This is crazy and isn't just due to COVID-19, it has been going on for at least a couple years now. We have TRICARE and they used to use CVS but for a few years now they make us use Walgreens for non mail order prescriptions in order to have it covered. Using a pharmacy that doesn't have one 24 hour pharmacy department open in our county area is poor judgement and poor customer service. They shouldn't have us drive so far to get a needed script under Tricare. We are senior citizens on a limited income so need it covered, but even young sick people shouldn't have to do this either! I hope both companies see this and make better decisions.
