Benzo Bob,
You have read my mind. I have wanted to start this topic for a long time. There have been a lot of posts about this topic. I have been looking into it for when I need to re-consult. I can offer 2 things:
1. Long timers on this site are skeptical to negative on it. Their point being it is a gimmick to sell you a worthless piece of paper; the DEA will soon be onto it and issue notices to nationwide pharms to not take scripts from Dr. XYW; local pharms will not take out of state scripts; etc., etc.; it's a ploy by shady ROP's to get more of your jack now that their pharm has been busted...
2. I have polled via PM some people that have used this service and they LOVE IT: Script issued several days after consult; local and national pharms have accepted them without exception; the script is very detailed with licence info, DEA number, phone number to call the doc, etc.; they have used their insurance and saved a bundle (try a 10.00 co-pay for 90 10/325 v. 175.00 or more); plus the script had refills so once the original fill is issued, you are set on refills. Not likely Rite-Aid is going to get raided.
I am anxious to get the various takes, but I like the sound of it.

grat points. I think the direct script will work in most markets. Many will say no way they will stop it. I cant see that happening without changing so many state laws. How many prescriptions from newyork are filled in newjersey everyday. must be tons and tons. I think many oldtimers remember when some services called in scripts to their pharmacy and faxed a copy over or mailed the hard copy at a later time. With this approach you actually have the handwritten script. Then again who loses money on the refills. bingo the OCS and those who say it will never work. it would be so much cheaper esp. if you have some prescription coverage. I say it has worked and in almost all places it will. well in the continental u.s.

The direct script vendor my friend used faxed his script to the pharmacy same day as his consult..consult was $150.00 not bad if you ask me,I saw some as high as $250.00 and they send you the script fed-ex so you still pay shipping on first fill.I have not saw any cheaper than $150.00.............Sugar,,,,,,,,,,p.s. Putero Rico very uncool,not even in the U.S.A.

where can we see a list of the rops offering the direct script program?, then we could compare prices, promo's and figure out which one scripted from puerto rico (not cool).
wish there were also a way to find out where the script originates from for each company - florida to the pacific nw is quite a stretch....
so yes - we do need a separate category for the direct script 'vendors'!
Scruf:
the only 2 I know of are MyEasyConsult (they have lots of unsual Rules, you need to check them out) and PCM (they made a big announcement, but have gone dark for quite a while, check the thread).
I am sure there are others.

As long as people are talking about how they are getting their meds on this board, the dea will keep stopping them.
The Direct Scripts is over too. It was working fine until this week the pharmacy I was using will not fill anymore either.
That is an old saw and I am getting tired of it. This whole board is how people get their meds. If it is legal, it does not matter. If it is illegal, the DEA has a problem with it.
If this post above me here has validity, then please, someone suggest closing the board so we can go home, by ourselves, and get our meds without the DB board bring down the whole system.
Sheeesh.
Old saw....

That in itself is an affront to our right to "free speech"we are losing all of our "civil liberties."
Healthcare has turned into a nightmare in this country. It is so sad to hear a cancer patient can not get the medication they need, and it is easier to procure pain meds from "high school pushers" than to get legitimate and adequate pain medication. It is also ridiculous to commit “contempt prior to investigation”. There is this general assumption that we just “click and pay”. The “direct script” system is very strict. MRI, blood test, liver, kidneys& etc. it is not just “direct scripts” but OCS also. The hurdles that we have to jump through is greater than the one’s at our local doc’s, however they are afraid to manage pain correctly due to the DEA practicing "medicine without a license". The DEA has turned decent law abiding citizens into “pain fugitives”.
I did a thesis for my Master’s on Social Security in France ironically that is what their Universal Healthcare program is called. It was on the web but when I googled it today I could not find it. During my research I used research such as http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2004_05/003972.php as a reseach tool. We are people that have worked hard all of our lives, paid our taxes, and now, many of us are crippled with pain, and unable to live productive lives
The poppy in Afghanistan will find it’s way on the streets, because it is a harder challenge for the DEA to stop it from hitting our streets, and will actually require them to work instead of targeting Chronic Pain patients. I am not naive not every one that uses our board are CP patients, but not every one that goes to the local doc are pain patients either. The DEA have become our “healthcare providers”.They have put fear into our physicians, and they diligently try to close every avenue available to suffering hardworking Americans.It is evident that they do not care about us, maybe because most of our jobs are being “outsourced to foreign countries anyway”.
