[LMB] OT: peeve

[Harvey Fishman]

My case is similar. I get all my prescriptions mail order from my health 
plan's (HealthFirst New York) pharmacy, which is CVS-Caremark. They 
contact my doctors when the prescriptions run out. Occasionally I must 
goose the doctor to get the prescription refilled, but it usually works 
out in the end.
