- HNHIEP NGOOct 11, 20231.0I set up appointment and come in to get Covid-19’s booster shot. The pharmacy staff told me that I have to wait 30 minutes, after 30 minutes sitting there, the staff comes out and told me that they are no longer accept Kaiser Permanente Insurance , so I go to another Safeway pharmacy located in Wheaton , after 5 minutes waiting, I got a Covid-19’s booster shot , the staff very pro. , she told me that for vaccinations all insurances are accepted, no issues
- KMKim MJan 30, 20232.0I have been a customer at this pharmacy for over 10 years, and they have always been wonderful. In the last year there has been a turnover to an entirely new staff and pharmacists. Since then I have had nothing but issues. Medications that I have been having filled there for the last decade are suddenly not covered by my insurance. I get lied to as to the reasons and it always turns out to be an error in the way the staff is entering it into the computer. Meanwhile they have me jumping through hoops to telling me I need prior authorizations, that my doctor did not sill it out correctly, or that my insurance will not cover it anymore and I have to pay out of pocket. All have been shown to be false after speaking to my insurance company. It seems like the pharmacist in charge now has some moral or ethical issues with some medications and she does everything possible to make those meds very difficult to be picked up. Not to mention that I never get notifications that my scripts are ready anymore. It is just a nightmare there.

Reviewing your Medicare plan every year is important because Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D) can change annually.
