I haven't used this place, but researched them for a friend, as we live in TN and it is a harder place to get reliable service. I will say that they require strict records, but from what I was told, the whole process is very friendly and courteous, as well as timely. I am sorry I can't tell you more, but I am posting her feedback to me.

I am in the process of using their services now. I had my consultation with the PA on Tuesday,but so far thats been it.I will post with my results.I know their staff is very friendly.Their paper work isn't really strict you just have to have proof and really need their services.It just worries me that I haven't got a tracking number or anything yet.

These guys know what there doing. I was incredibly pleased with customer service. You allways got a very fast reply to emails and they allways answered the phone. The PA's actually care and ask questions about my problem. We found the best course of action and they sent me the script to be filled at my pharmacy. This is what makes it affordable. The consult is a little on the high side but I save 80 per refill. Absolutly amazing service.

I agree. I consulted on Monday and rec'd my tracking number on Wednesday for Thursday delivery. I rec'd an email every step of the way and rec'd an immediate response to every email I sent. EXCELLENT SERVICE!

I am SO GLAD I decided to go with this service.... EXCELLENT !!! From start to finish the process took 4 days. TOP-NOTCH Customer Service to boot !!!

Hi guys..my husband used this service and is VERY pleases. I did the math and if you break it down you save approx, 380.00. myeasyconsult charges 160 plus the meds at local pharm which is about 30 plus 2 refills which is 250 (including initial fill).
My experience has been as follows..consult 120,meds and shipping (130meds)(40shipping) which is 290..two refills and shippping 340. If you add the 340 and 290 we are spending about 630. Doing it with script at local pharm we save 380 dollars...Please understand I am a pain suffer as most of you are and am just trying to help... You guys have always been good to me and helped me out in the past so I thought Id just let you know these guys can save us a bunch of money. I spent a long time on the phone with Michele asking lots of questions and she was very patient with me and very kind and informative always answering the phone. My husaband works for UPS and its hard for him to just randomly pull over for a consult. They really went out of their way and worked with him on this. With all the OCS closing and having problems this is the start of something Great.. They are awsome and Mechele is a Sweetheart.

I second that. I'm waiting for my script which I should receive tomorrow. This is my first time using this type service, just cancelled with my previous OP after waiting a month for my last fill. I had my consult on Tuesday and I should receive a tracking number today. Only because of the holiday has it taken this long, I think without the holiday I'd have script in hand. Michelle is awesome, makes you feel like she's one of your friends. The PA was great too, actually cared about your health. The best part is after receiving script, don't have to worry for 3 months about paying, tracking, waiting. I'm soooo looking forward to just running to wally world each month. Thank god for MEC!!

Does anyone know when you usually receive your tracking number with these guys (is it in the evening)? I haven't gotten mine yet and I'm getting nervous since if it doesn't go out today I'm stuck waiting until next week. I've sent a few emails and PM'd Bruce but haven't heard back yet.

After waiting a month for my final refill from my former OP, I decided to try My Easy Consults. What a wonderful change for the better! From the time I first spoke to Michele until I had my prescription in hand was four days. I love this type of OP, filling at my local pharmacy means no waiting, no having to be there to sign for a package, no stress at all. I had no trouble having the Rx filled, and didn't have to worry about pill count or the freshness of the meds.

They are rather strict on records, so be sure you send in what is requested. After that, its smooth sailing. The PA I spoke to was very pleasant and respectful, and I truly can't say enough good things about Michele. She genuinely cares about her customers, answers the phone with a smile in her voice, and promptly answers her e-mail. I called several times during the process, and she never made me feel like I was bothering her.

I give this OP 5 shining Stars, and would heartily recommend MEC to anyone looking to make their life a lot less stressful where meds are concerned. I only hope that as they grow that they are able to maintain this stellar level of customer service! Way to go Michele!

Wow. Thats all I can say. I've been battling with OCS's for over a year, dealing with late refills, botched consults, LE shutdowns, etc, etc.

I signed up 2 days ago, the script arrived this morning, and filled at my local pharmacy for free (with my insurance card).

Amazing experience, CS is so friendly and polite. The key to using this service is "Following the directions". If you follow their step be step instructions to the letter and everything is in order, it'll truly be the best experience you've ever had. I have 2 refills, and the best part, I just have to go to my local pharmacy. No waiting around, hoping, and calling CS, and all the other stuff the rest of us are used to. I am truly amazed how perfect this has worked out, now, I'm not in pain, and I am actually working for the first time in weeks. It feels so good to be back to normal again. These folks truly have the patient in mind, and care about you. By far the greatest telemedicine experience I've had to date.

Again, follow the instructions to the tee, make sure you include everything they ask for, and you will not have an issue. They do everything by the book, and will definitely be around for a long long time, I have no doubts about it. 5 Stars all the way.

Well i am going to give them a try, faxed all my stuff, called me right away to let me know i had a consult scheduled today and if all goes well she said I should have my script on thursday. I will let you know!!

Very nice people

After trying for 2 months to get my refills from my former O.P. i decided to give My Easy Consult a try.HAd my consult 8/20/07 received my script 8 /24/07.Went to a mom and pop pharmacy walked with out any trouble.They are great and happy with them.

Does anyone know if you can use one of those mail order Canadian pharmacys, where you mail them your script, and they mail you your meds for cheap?

They are great. Michele was very helpful. Faxed my records on 8/28 (they tried to get me in on that day for the consult, but I was having trouble with my fax, so I had to fax them from a UPS store), so I had my consultation on 8/29. Was informed on 8/30 that the script was approved by the doctor and that they would receive it and fedex it to me on 8/31. I asked for Saturday delivery because of the long weekend, which they did, and I received the script Saturday morning 9/1 (even had a hand written thank you from Bruce & Michele). Took it to Sam's Club and had it filled with no problems in about 15 minutes. Michele did inform me that if the pharmacy needed to call the doctor, that he would not be available until Tuesday due to the holiday weekend, but the pharmacy had no problems at all. As far as the notarized form, I just took it to my bank and they had no problems with notarizing it. Once the script arrived, I gave the FedEx guy the money order and the original PCP notarized form & a better copy of my ID in a separate envelope. I give them 5 Stars!

How are MEC and LadyRX connected, I've seen a reply somewhere denying the connection, but holy cow just check out the "our process" pages on either site. The only difference was an explanation of why turnaround should take 5 -10 days on LadyRX, but they may have changed that now too on thier site. I mean even the text color, background color, almost exactly plagerized. I think they have have the same backer maybe, just different site owners? That would be the easiest explanation, but why deny the connection, it is pretty obvious - unless you just admit to the plagerization of LadyRx or whatever. The connection shouldn't really mean anything, but the denial seems wierd to me....makes me question.

Does it seem odd to anyone else, three reviews from three "strangers/newbies" almost identically written "perfect commercials" and both by long term OP users ...then why are the accounts new, obviously you have had to been on DB before, right? Just wondering, seemed wierd how they mentioned how long they would be around for and how all the right things will keep them there. Seems fishy, hey can we get somw updates or something from you all to make sure it is all legit.

It is beyond odd, it's blatantly obvious they were all written by the same person, probably the owner of the company.

I can think of at least a dozen very real reasons why using this company will most likely result in loss of refills and possibly criminal prosecution. Most people are intelligent enough to realize that and don't use them so they probably have to resort to these kinds of tactics to try and drum up business.

Funny you asked. I PM'd these folks individually a couple of weeks back, and they back their claims. They are happy and make the recommendation to use the service.

I have started a couple of threads on Direct Scripts, and participated in a couple from some longtimers and I will tell you this:

1. the longtimers do not like the direct script route. Check the threads, and you will know what I am talking about: flash in the pan, the DEA will shut them down, you will pay 120.00 for a worthless piece of paper... this is what they say. Read it yourself.

2. the longtimers say the pharms won't accept out of state scripts. Wrong. They all accept them, at least the one's I called do. The MEC customers I polled said they got the scripts filled at local pharms, rite aids, walgreens, the whole banana! Plus you have the refills at your neighborhood pharm. Ever heard on these pages of anyone losing refills? Yeah, like very freeking day! Ever lost a refill at Rite Aid? Me? Never!

3. That being said, perhaps the newbies are the only ones who are willing to try it.

Just my thoughts. I have not used the DS route, but am STRONGLY considering it.The ROP world is a mess right now, and this is an attractive alternative, mostly because the pharms are having the issues not the OCS's. Take the pharm out of the equation, everything looks a lot better.

There's no need to really take anyone's word for it. Call your local pharmacy and tell them you plan on bringing in an out of state script every month for narcotics and ask them if that is okay with them. Be sure to mention that the state and doctor issuing the script may change from time to time and ask them how much of this information will be entered into their database.

We are all intelligent adults here capable of making up our own minds.

Well said.

However that is not the DB way, since it is not cloaked in paranoia and darkness...LOL. Way too logical and to the point. ROFL...shh... there they are.. coming...after...meeeeeeeee!

Thanks Toolboy. Just so you know, I have nothing against this company; the more sources we have the better. I just wish they did a better job of setting up their procedures. For instance, if they had a doctor in every state they could do a face to face or maybe even a webcam consult and be 100% legal. It would cost more but I think most of us would be willing to pay a higher consult fee to be assured of staying within the law and receiving all of our refills without incident.

The issue would be cost effectiveness and delivery of doctor services. I mean if you are willing to get the face to face anyway, by a doctor practicing in your state, odds are you would not being using an OP or DSing site at all ...and furthermore the cost for them to set up that sort of network would cause our costs to exceed a patient just going to into their local clinic or DR.s office, right? I mean that makes sense. Oh, and I PMed to get a response about those newbie remarks....ummm no reply.

Hi Mike and others,

I am not going to start a he said, she said thing, but as owner, I can assure that I did not make those posts or have anyone else make them for myeasyconsult.

I like the comments about cloak and dagger on the forum. LOL

We do offer quality customer service and try to communicate to all our clients all the information that they need.

Have a Great Day!

I have to admit , after waiting nearly 3 weeks on "back logged " pharmacies, this seems like a good and viavle alternative. I just had a couple quick questions for anyone who has used the service before:

1.) Has anyone had an issue with an out of state Rx.
2.) Does the Dr. write small RX i.e. 30 pills or is this more realistic that that ?
3.) Do the Rx's come with refills and how many

Thank you for the help.
Bruce it looks like you have a great start going, thank you.

I hadn't checked this thread in a while and really had to chuckle at the suggestion that I'm one of the same three people. I don't really care what you think about me or if you doubt the truthfulness of my glowing review. All I can tell you is that I recently picked up my third refill from my local pharmacy, and will be reconsulting with MEC when the time rolls around. My pain is under control and I no longer have to worry about pharmacy delays and customer service runarounds. All this and my insurance pays for my medication too. Everyone out there is free to make their own decisions and to think what they will, but please think twice before making unfounded accusations. I am ONE happy MEC customer. Oh, by the way I'm glad you found my post perfectly written. That will make my mother, a former English teacher, very happy. It just so happens that I write technical reports for a living! Sorry I didn't reply to your PM, Mike, but I was on a business trip to DC and really didn't have time. I got a boatload of PMs from my post, and really just couldn't answer them all.

Can the consult and script be COD, for BOTH?

Thank you!

I have just been through the new patient process with MEC and the COD is just for the consult. You pay for the actual prescription at whichever pharmacy you take it to be filled.

Hope this helps.

How long did the process take from start to finish? (Faxing in records and how long was your consult after that?)

Thanks so much!

about a week, sometimes 2 from what i have heard.sorry, but i think all direct scripts are that way. but it seems a better way to go instead of waiting on refills from the others. plus its cheaper

Definately cheaper in the long run....But WOW a week or two! That is quite a wait

1) Faxed info. on Friday morning before 11 a.m.
2) Had consult Friday afternoon.
3) Received confirmation of script being written on Tuesday morning.
4) Script SHOULD arrive tomorrow morning (Wednesday).

So, all in all, 4 total business days.

Good Morning.

Just to let everyon know. Usually it is three business days but sometimes with the weekend it can be four business days.

Hope that clears it up. It is never a week or two.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank You

Thanks Bruce!

Just wanted to post regarding my experience with MEC. The entire process was very simple and straightforward. Michelle was great to answer all questions and to keep me informed.

Just received script today and got it filled with no problems at my local pharmacy. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Just thought I'd add to the post above. I just received my Rx from MEC this afternoon and had it filled at the local pharmacy. I have to give MEC an excellent recommendation. It was the 1st time I'd ever done an OCS and they made the experience well woth it!

Has any one new used this service yet?

I am putting forth a lot of effort to secure a consult and my fax machine is smoking. Second attempt so far. Hope this latest ream of 11 years worth of records will suffice.

11 years worth of records!!!!??

Amazing, Eh? Yet, oh so true. Joined VIP in late 2001, before joining freeside (extreme old timer on both sides). Consult succesful....Michele is a saint when it comes to promptness and courtesy of replies. Website could use some clarification of requirements, though. Left a reply on VIP side. Sure could use some advice over there , if you please?

Marke~ ever get the advice you needed?

I am glad to see people successfully using the Direct Scripts. I would be curious to know if there have been any issues at the local Pharm for an out of state script?

Yes. Thank you.

This is my first post on this site, I'm mostly a reader and have learned a great deal since finding a few months ago. I feel the need to express my support for MEC and to let others know how "easy" my experience with them was. I faxed records and ID on a friday, was called for consult on monday and was emailed confirmation of scrip approval on wednesday of same week. They emailed tracking# on thursday and scrip was delivered on Friday, but due to work I picked up at hub on saturday. I have to admit was a little nervous filling it but after reading previous posts from others it sounded like it wasn't a problem. Took to walgreen's and said it would be ready in 20 minutes and it was! Great thing about it is you get 2 refills and I even got mine 2 days earlier than expected. The best part is insurance payment was $5 for each fill, consult was $175 but was worth it IMO. My biggest concern was doctor/scrip was out of state (way out) I'm in cali and scrip's from florida, but no problems or ?'s asked. Compared to other method IMO directscript is cheaper and safer way to go. Kudos to MEC!!

I echo you, Rocker! I have much love for MEC!

Can any one tell me who is the Doctor that MEC uses ?
How many pain pills per script has anyone received ?
Thanks for sharing

I doubt anyone is going to share that information with you. Sorry. Especially since you're a 'Stranger' and this is your 1st post.

Hey bouzhee, welcome back i guess? It looks like you've been a memeber for a copuple years but obviously were only reading eh? Personally most people dont like to post dr's names, and personally i think its a good idea to keep their names off the public board! That way its harder for LE to track down the few dr's that are compassionate enough to help us out. PM's are a good way of sharing info but i would reccomend you just call them up and ask if you want the dr's name. Just my opiion and what i would do if i wanted that type of info.
peace and good luck, not to mention hope everyone is well.

Does this place only do script mailing? I live in a state where I don't think they take out if state scripts.

Yes these guys only do Direct Scripts. What state do you live in? If you are not sure, call yout local pharm to see if they will accept an out of state script. Reading some older posts, it appears the script comes from Florida.

Sometimes they won't "accept" the paper, but generally an "oral" script is acceptable in most states. One stategy may be to bring in the script, and have the pharm call the doc to "verify" the script, thus "converting' it to an oral script. That is a strategy in California that works, because CA will only accept scripts that are on a "California Secure Blank" form. Although some pharms will take them, the Pharm Board Law says they have to be on that form.

The Dr that handles these scripts is available after 5pm for pharmacies to call and verify. That is what I was told.

Makes it real sweet! I love the DS concept. There is so much resistance to DS on the board. With all of the Pharm meltdowns I would think the DS companies would be buried.

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I just have to say that these guys are great. As long as you truly have a well documented need for what you are requesting and all of your ducks are in a row, they work like clockwork. I had no problem having the out of state script filled in my little home town.

I switched to these guys after the carnage of my previous provider went down, and I can see that this is occurring to several places on this forum.

I would highly recommend this service to anyone that is sincerely in pain.

I researched this board for a couple weeks and decided to go with MyEasyConsult. Of course I had many questions before I would ever send money to anyone for a service like this. Their customer service answered all 14 emails and a few calls, some within the hour. They had patience as they walked me through the process.

Here's how it worked:
- I sent them all the required information
- Received a phone consult the next day
- Received an email the following day that the script had been approved
- The next day I received the FEDEX tracking number
- Received the script (with a hand written thank you)
- They included the prepaid return label. I put my original documentation and MO in an envelope, applied the label and shipped it off.
- Dropped off my script and picked it up filled later that afternoon.

I was impressed how helpful the staff was and how smooth the process went. I'll definitely be a returning customer. If you're looking for a reliable company, I suggest you give them a try.

Thank you to everyone at MyEasyConsult!

I think this is the real future in tele-medicine. My roommate's brother was hit by a car a few years ago and has a bad back - he pays them COD.

You know - it's a really good idea when you think about it. The dreaded "pharmacy" delay isn't a factor. From what I've read here the doctor is pretty cool - I guess a lot of pharmacies call to verify to validity of the script.

Hello,
I don't mean to be a pest but I have a few questions to ask you if I could? You said you sent in the required information, I'm guessing this would be your records?
Then you had your consult the next day, now is this when you talk with the doctor about what meds work for you or are they like the other sites and have you fill out the forms and already know what meds you need? How did the consult go was it fast and quick or did the doctor actually talk to you and give a [censored] about you and what your going through? I understand about the tracking and fed-ex stuff but I didn't understand what you ment when you said you mailed them original documentation and a Money order? what documentation do you have to send them? Also you send a money order for payment by mail? They don't charge you first, or want the fed-ex man to collect it? Well thanks in advance for any help.

Hi everyone,
As you will soon be able to tell, this is the first time I have posted on here. Been reading quite a while and thought maybe some others would like to hear that I had a good experience with these people from begining. I would highly recommend them.

PJ

I have a question about one of the requirements.

Physical within the last 12 mos? I do have medical records from August of this year. It was from a visit to my regular doctor. It wasn't, technically, a "physical" but my condition is clearly stated on there. Will this be an issue?

Secondly, my regular doctor only prescribed me 7.5 hydros. Does this mean that is what I'm going to get? 10s work much better for me.

Flizzy - **See me response below

You said you sent in the required information, I'm guessing this would be your records?
** You are correct.

Then you had your consult the next day, now is this when you talk with the doctor about what meds work for you or are they like the other sites and have you fill out the forms and already know what meds you need?
** You don't speak directly to the Dr. You are screened through My Easy Consults. You will need to show records of what has been prescribed in the past for you. I stuck with the Norco's, so I don't know about switching meds.

How did the consult go was it fast and quick or did the doctor actually talk to you and give a [censored] about you and what your going through?
** Again you don't speak directly with the Dr. But the consult was painless.

I understand about the tracking and fed-ex stuff but I didn't understand what you ment when you said you mailed them original documentation and a Money order?
** You only fax them the information to get started. They still need the originals with your signature on them.

what documentation do you have to send them?
** Notorized form and 200% copy of drivers license.

Also you send a money order for payment by mail?
**Yes, They will send your script COD Fedex. You pay for the package, open it, take the prepaid/prefilled out Fedex shipping label and hand it to the guy behind the counter and tell him to ship the MO back to the sender using the shipping label sent. They took it from there.

Hope that answers your questions.

Also, Had my reconsult earlier this week and got my script today. Smooth as silk this company is!!

If anyone has questions, I encourage you to call them and ask. They're very helpful and patient.

Good luck to all.

Arizona, I used MEC with excellent results. I sent a print out from my pharmacy that showed that I was usually Rx'd 5/500's. I told them that they were not all that effective and I usually had to take two. I asked if I could get the 10/325's instead so I could just take one pill and not have so much apap. They ok'd it and I got 10/325's that work so much better. HTH.

how do you send an email with confirmation of cancellation? I can't even get my current OCS to respond to my email.

Do you have to pay ahead of time? What I gather from the registration page is that I would have to do so.

Also, where is the fax cover sheet located? I do not see it on the home page.

MEC is awesome and I'm already planning to use them again when my refills run out. I'm even turning my mom on to them. Her Dr retired and she's too set in her ways to go find another!

I am considering changing to this method because the ROP's are just ridiculous. I finally finished up my refills the one I have used for years because it takes months to get a refill done. It has gotten insane!

Anyway, hoping some of the current MEC customers could help me out. If you don't want to answer on the board, could you PM me?

Are there a lot of problems with out of state scripts? I'm in TX. I don't want to pay for the script and then take it to a Walgreens and have it denied. In the instance of the pharmacy calling the doc to verify - has anyone had problems with the pharmacy getting in touch with the doc right away? In other words, is the doc available right then if the pharm calls him/her?

This really looks like a positive place and after reading this board for a about a month, I think I am going to make the switch. I just am trying to make sure I don't get the script in hand and then have it denied by the local pharm.

Thanks to anyone who can offer feedback!

Simple, just ask ur pharmacist if they accept out of state scrips (from Florida). This is a VERY good, awesome OCS! You won't b disappointed.

I had my reconsult Friday, and have a tracking number for delivery tomorrow. So far so good. I think Michelle is great. She treats her customers EXACTLY how they should be treated. This is my 2nd time around with them. No problems!

How do you know when it is time to recomsult? Do they email you?

I am thinking on reusing, as nothing has came through for me yet. I was a MPC patient, and am looking at other options, but may or may not try this one again, as I had no problems the 1st time. I am just trying the most affordale options, but as I recall, they didn't give me as many meds as I am use to getting.

does anyone no if they shipp to tennesse? or know of someone who does plz help

How many days after your first consult to get a reconsult?
Thanks

This is also what you order from the other internet sights

80 days so there's no lapse in your treatment.

Oh, I almost forgot another question. They email you when it's time for a new consult.
Tia

They were great when they serviced TN, but I just didn't like that they never sent an e-mail or anything to say that they no longer did

Good morning guys,

I've been using MEC for a while now. They are awesome! Michele is great and communicates all along the way. I've been getting my fills at Walgreen's but during my last fill, the pharm tech asked me, "What website do you use?" I thought at first that I didn't hear him correctly, so I obviously said, "what?" to which he replied, "I don't care, I was just curious what website you use to get your script?" His tone changed to being friendly and began telling me that he had been using telemeds for the past year for himself and that Walgreen's has a policy to deny all scripts written from all of the doctors that are on the "black list". He tells me that Walgreen's has a list of known telemed doc's and that my doc wasn't on the list...yet. He tells me that it's only a matter of time before my doc is put on the list and that I should think about finding another pharmacy to get my fills??? I thanked him for the heads up, he filled my script, and I left.

Now I'm concerned whether or not to go back. I've been getting my MEC scripts filled there for half a year now. I could go to another national chain or to a smaller corner pharm but now I'm concerned that others might have the same philosophy. I guess, since this tech had such a friendly attitude and was using telemed's as well that I could just call him and ask if the coast is clear. Does anyone else have any experience with other national chains? If they do deny the script, do they take it from you and not give it back or will they just deny the fill? The tech gave me his name so I'll give him a call and let you all know what I find out.

Oh, and by the way, I've posted this over in the VIP section so if any of you are not comfortable posting their pharmacy names over here on the public side, please reply over there or PM me. I'm a long time VIP member but I don't post much.

Made the call. The coast is clear at WG's.

Once again, I'm a very satisfied customer!!!! These guys really are the way to go. Not only that, but insurance, for those of you who have it, will cover the fill!

Good luck to you all!

Ditto to what Mike said!

I had my consult Wed and got an email yesterday stating that I would receive an email today with a tracking number for delivery on Monday. I did NOT get an email today. However, I was able to track with their reference number and it says data transmitted, bot nothing about package being pick up. Anyone else have/had this problem? They have always being an A+ company, so I am be no means complaining - just checking.

I had some unforseen incidents go down and was unable to collect my script or give MEC their money order. If the scripts are still good I would like to make things right. Hopefully I will hear from them soon.

Sorry again guys!

I bet if you call Michelle she will do what ever she can...I just wanted to update everyone. Even though my rx did not go out on Friday, I got an email from them on Sunday night saying there was a delay and they were sorry and that it would go out today. I must say I was impressed that they emailed me on a Sunday night.

Hi

Do you service NC?

They do service NC (as of 2-12-08). I am in NC and I had a great experience with them. This state is so backwards and screwed up that I am afraid it is only a matter of time before they stop direct scripts as well. But for now I would say go for it. I used a small pharmacy that I had used once or twice in the past. The pharmacy tech told me that they are a more skeptical if they have never seen you. Since I had been there before I had no problem getting my RX filled. It is a good idea to call first.

Just went this route and all is well This was my 2nd time.....

very pleased!

MEP is a great site. Their customer service is excellent. Direct scrip is definitely the way to go, the savings math mentioned in an earlier post is right on. Michelle indeed is on the case and super friendly to boot. Check with your local pharmacy to see of they will accept an out-of-state prescription before scheduling your consult. It's easier than you think. Just remember never to volunteer any information to the pharmacy and you'll be fine, depending on your state. I'm a convinced customer.

mep sounded like the way to go but i have not had much success with them. they wanted $ up front because fedex dosent come to this back end of the earth. i sent them 215.00. they recived on saterday and e-mailed me monday with a tracking # with usps i tryed the #,on 3-17, NOTHING
i tryed again 0n 3-18 still nothing. i e-mailed them on 3-17 they didnt reply i tryed again on 3-18 they still wont reply..im starting to wonder if the went out of biz??

These guys are awesome. Michelle is a delight to deal with their doc was compassionate and asked me only relevant questions. I faxed my records on Monday afternoon, had consult Monday evening and will have my script overnighted to me tomorrow.

I high recommend this ROP!

I agree, these guys are awesome. Good service, compassionate doc. Received my prescription on schedule, took it to Walgreens, and they filled it with no problem. I love this!
Tonight I am painfree and content.

I had quite a negative experience with this company. I have extensive records and a full bloodwork report. They denied me service because I had tried Buephonehrine for pain. My records state that I do not have a drug problem, over and over again. I have tried many long lasting meds and my doctor suggested Subutex. It worked well, but was too much of a hassle and the Sub doc was not very ethical so I went to another long acting medication. To be denied service for having tried a drug seems to me as pre-labeling me a druggie. Is there the same stigma with methadone? I guess it is back to another PM doctor. Hopefully they will not look at my records with the same misconceptions. I guess the lesson is not to be too honest with your records. What a crazy world those in pain live in!

Hey poo-bah--what sort of meds were you requesting from them?

Woah, I can't believe they did that! I know stuff is changing over there. Don't think I'll be able to use them again. They want a letter from the Dr. But that's ok! They were good to me and I'm shocked you were rejected tjt!

Well, let me respond to Bruce from Myeasyconsults on this thread, since he replied on a thread then closed it. Suboxone is prescribed off-label for pain. You would think doctors would know that, especially those dealing with pain patients. The fact that my records said, "no drug use problems" over and over again would be a clue. Also the fact that I was prescribed opiates after this by a PM doctor who had these same records would be another clue. Please don't come on here Bruce and suggest I may have a drug problem. I think you have an uninformed doctor.

I would like to consider myself as a long timer. I may join the VIP sporadically and I don't post much, but I have been on the scene since there were no prescriptions needed. Just bought it and it was shipped as much as you want. I did try this DS route with a guys name something like Borgata that's not his name nor any reference to the casino. It worked once but then he was shut down n they would not honor refills.

There have been place that have com and gone, but there are still some here on the boards that have been around for a long time and knock on wood they will continue to be around both domestically and foreign.

So listening to some of the old timers might be the way to go.

Although we do need some ppl with the gonads to try something different.

These guys are awesome. If you have trouble figuring out the whole process; sending in the records getting the hipaa form notarized and when you will be consulted just call micehele over there. She is the best! If your records are good you'll have no problems.

What is their turnaround time? Thank you!

had script in my hand 72 hours from start to finish. The send it COD via fedex. If you have a problem call Michelle she'll take care of it. Make sure to check with a pharm in you area to make sure they take scripts from a different state (that is if you live in another state from FL). I had mine filled and it cost me $10 with my insurance.

Can someone please help me? I have used them for the first time and everything has gone very smoothly. COnsult same day with script going out next day. My question is what pharmacies work best especially given re-fills on this class of medication. Has anyone tried CVS or Walmart, Target... any problems with the initial fill or re-fill given that it is out of state? Thanks to all for the posts and for your help. PM me if that help anyone who would rather post a reply that way

Peace!! Fireguy forced to retire w/o benefits.

I've been using MEC for over a year now and I used to love them. Their customer service was great and I never had any negative experiences with them until now. My reconsult was scheduled and on the day of my reconsult, I get an email from Michele saying that my records are out of date. That's fine. I understand the need for updated records but for them to wait until the day of my reconsult to tell me that, I think is a little out of line. I emailed her back to let her know that it's going to take a little bit of time for the hospital to release the records to me. Her response to me was that I need to provide updated records with a new diagnosis and script written. A script written!?! What?!! I try to call her and each time I call, she answers and acts like she can't hear me. I call a friend just to make sure my phone is working and it is, so I try her back. Once again, I get the same response. I decide to send an email and I still haven't got a response.

Just so you all know, I have been getting treatment for the exact same problem with my lower back for the past 2 years. I just had an L5 epidural steroid injection 3 months ago. All of my records reflect the exact same problem and I have been getting my scripts from MEC for the past year. Why would MEC ask me for a new script from a local doctor with a new diagnosis? The diagnosis is the same as it was 2 years ago. If I got a script from another doctor, I wouldn't need to go to MEC anymore right? If I did, I would get cut off for double dipping right? See below. This is the entire email thread that I've cut and pasted. I think you should all know how they treat a long time loyal customer. I'm also a VIP member of this board. I'm still waiting for a phone call or email response.

Michele,

I just called you and could hear you just fine. Everyone else I've called could hear me so maybe it's you phone. My phone number is ***-***-**** if you want to call me.

I have been a loyal customer of yours for the past year and have been very satisfied with your service. Now you are telling me that I need to send you updated records with a script written. I understand the need for updated records but to ask me to provide a written script from another doctor kind of defies the purpose of telemeds don't you think? If I go to a doctor and get a script written, why would I give you $210 to write me another one? Isn't that called double dipping?

I hope that I am misunderstanding your request and that you are surely not asking me to get a script written elsewhere. Could you please clarify?

Thank you for you time.

Here are a few records that I have at the moment. I'll order the rest if needed. The referral for my epidural injection is included in the attachments.

Let me know if these are not sufficient.

I'll have to obtain them from the hospital. I just had an epidural spine injection about 3 months ago. Do I need to get those to you before I get a reconsult? It's going to take a little time to get those. It would have been nice to have been notified last week that you needed updated records.

It sounds to me like she is asking you for the record of a physical within the last year along with a notation in it that you have been perscribed this med by your doctor before without problems.

I agree---He is running for office---If people perceive him as having a drug problem, it will not go well for the election. This should have been looked into further.

Venman, I had to reply. The guys name ("Borgata"), was Burgos. Or 'Dr. Burgos', and it was really a long time ago that I also used them too. Like 8 or 9 years. I think that he was one of the first OCS's to consult with you over the phone and then UPS a written script. The web-site that connected you with him was through "Beverly Hills Pharmacy" back then referred to as BHP, which I thought was pretty amusing since the consult calls and UPS envelopes both came from Miami. And yes he is long closed down now or retired(I remember he was pretty old and'cantankerous'). Venman is also correct(IMHO), in that chosing what service to go with takes research and that its wise to get advice from posters that have been around for awhile. I've been burned once or twice, so taking the time to do the research and get as much credible info. as you can, especially the way money is so tight these days, does pay off. I do not use consult services that rely on a pharmacy or pharmacies anymore, and I've been with MEC and Michele for almost 2 years now,almost since they first started up. At first I was a bit leary when I saw that they required a form that needed to be notarized. But, I've been very happy with them. I think that Michele is great, and she has always replied to my e-mails on the same day. I just had a re-consult last week, and Michele e-mailed me and said that they needed to update my records with ones that were more recent. I went to my local clinic (that does not RX narcotic meds on a long term basis for chronic pain as per their own policy),so I faxed my records from my last 4 appts., and had my RX from MEC in hand in 72 hours. Hope that this might help someone out, and thanks Venman69 for the "flashback". -Steve

sorry, what do you have to get notarized? and is the process fairly straight-forward?

yeah, just go to your bank and they'll notarize it for you. My guy did it for free.

Has anyone tried these newer paper scripts with any of the mail-in places like expressscripts.com or drugsourceinc.com: a commom precription "benefit" of most Med Insurance Companies?

You get the physician to write a 90 day supply and simply mail them in.
They may (?) attempt to contact the Doctor, and my experience tells me they try to be as anonymous as possible.
(*too* much so)

My concern is that they will leary of out-of-state physicians, since I live in the Midwest, and most of these places have physicians from New Jersey/Florida, etc.

NOT ONE: *nada*, locally (and I live in a LARGE CITY) will
->touch a prescription<- for 2mg alprazolam, which I have taking on an "as needed" basis for agrophobia, another word for these dang "panic attacks" I have suffered from for years.

This med is par none the best to control that malady as well as my chronic insomnia.

This new paper script deal is confusing as all get out to me.

However, with "0" Medical Insurance this seems to be the least expensive way to go: for me anyway.

Any advice/suggestions MUCH appreciated!

Right now: I am sitting on a 2 day supply and need to get Something rolling.

DrugStores.com was recommended to me by a Direct Script Service, but I haven't tried. She said many of their patients went through DrugStore.com

1) So there is no confusion, first you typed it as drugstores.com which is a parked page -- useless!

2) Enough people have reported poor experiences with drugstore.com --- you may want to search here on " drugstore.com " for the past 6 months before you decide on that one. "Poor experiences" is an understatement, BTW.

patient2all

I have never used them, as stated but they were recommended to me a while back??????? I see now that the site isn't "up and running"...I guess I should have checked...oops

Sorry, just trying to help with a "recommendation"

BTW, what happened with them? I am pretty sure that was the site suggested.

Oh well!

drugsourceinc.com is: I *know for Sure* a legitimate Company.
So is ->expressscripts.com.

However, it has to be included in your Medical Policy (if you are lucky enough to even have one) and you have to have a member ID before they will consider shipping *anything* to you.

I know that to be a fact from recent experience.

I'm just slightly edgy when it comes to postal mailing them a paper script from a Doctor located in a USA state 1000 miles from where I live.

Thanks for the responses! Not much information I *can use* however.

Keep posting, or if this would better be placed in another forum, I can do that.

Fred

Fred, I may be starting to sound like a Shill, but I just got my third order from Todo farmacia yesterday with a 10 day turn around that included 2 weekends. They are closed right now for something but if it's only the 2 mg xanax that work for you, try them. I'm sure other IOPs have them, but I've been very happy with the incredible quickness of this company and the fact that they take credit cards (you can get throw away numbers online through your cc company or buy a Visa/Mastercard gift card if you feel uncomfortable).

It may not be of much help now that they are closed for a week or two, but at least there's no consult fee, shipping is cheap and you can expect it very quickly.

Good Luck in your search. If you have a script for 2mg and can't get it filled, perhaps some doctor will write you a script for 1mg and you can take 2 as needed.

BTW, for many years my Mom used a mail in service for her medicines. Whatever insurance company they had at the time virtually required that they do it that way, but she got 90 days of medicine with a copay for only 1 month, not three. Haven't heard of the ones you've described, but there are tons of legitimate ship-to pharmacies in the US. I'd say if your prescription has all the correct information and they have the ability to contact the doctor who wrote them you'll probably be okay. My mother lives on the border of a couple of states and has specialists in several places, and none of her prescriptions were ever questioned.

Sent in records: 5/4 PM
Consult: 5/5 AM
Script Received: 5/8 AM

Very impressed with MEC's customer service and turnaround time. Wish I would have gone DS a long time ago!

Doctor was very kind and thorough with records. My total bill was $200 (DB VIP discount) for three months worth of meds.
