I have been less satisfied with my Blue Cross Drug Policy. I have a rotator cuff injury that is not correctable with surgery. I occasionally have a flare of pain if I do something that aggravates it. I am prescribed Tramadol to keep and use as needed. I checked my policy and I am prescribed much less than the maximum dosage listed on my policy yet I had a problem getting more than 7 pills at a time. It is clear from my prescribing history that I am not a drug seeker with multiple doctors prescribing pain meds. I was treated more like a criminal trying to get this approved.&lt;/p&gt;

When I had to switch to a Texas plan I was biased toward BCBS and made that choice. The information you provided when I was comparing plans said the CVS was the preferred provided and the CVS mail order service was the preferred 90-day source. So I prepared for easy transition ahead of time by establishing accounts and transferring prescriptions to CVS, informing all our doctors of the change and such. Of course once i was enrolled and having trouble with CVS I learned that all your information was wrong. Walgreens and Alliance Walgreens are the preferred providers. I then spent several weeks changing everything. You could not have made it any more of a mess. I can not understand how in December you were informing me the that it would be CVS in your published information and then January 1, whoops, just kidding&amp;#39; it is going to be CVS. Service is good from Alliance. Not as good as Express Scripts. Local Walgreens is marginal. That is why I was so happy that it was going to be CVS. Had I known your literature was wrong, I probably would have chosen &amp;nbsp;a different company to have CVS and avoid Walgreens. &lt;/p&gt;
