New York Times article about Rite Aide bankruptcy.

Rite Aid said on Sunday that it was working on a potential deal to sell Elixir, the pharmacy benefit manager it bought for $2 billion in 2015, to MedImpact. Any deal would be subject to approval by a bankruptcy judge.

Pharmacy benefit managers, often referred to as P.B.M.s in the industry, act as intermediaries on behalf of employers and health insurance plans, performing services like negotiating discounts on drugs.

Elixir has been a challenge for Rite Aid, because its smaller scale has put it at a disadvantage when negotiating for larger contracts that could generate more cash. CVS Caremark, Cigna’s Express Scripts and UnitedHealth Group’s OptumRx are the three biggest pharmacy benefit managers, processing about 80 percent of all prescription claims in the United States.

Phone Call on 8/24/23 at 9:30 am to renew Tamsulosin.
The call lasted 1:37:32. It was way too hard to speak to a pharmacist, and when I was finally connected with Liz Moseley, TX 33343, the phone connection was defective.

NDMA testing at Valisure

Name and License number of the pharmacist who dispensed this prescription

Valisure letter to the FDA dated 3/2/20. Letter refers to the presence of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in specific batches of Metformin.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified NDMA as a "probable carcinogen".

It is a 16 page letter. The above is what I got from page 1. When I skip ahead to the top of page 15:

Valisure's data clearly shows that NDMA contamination above FDA acceptable limits is a pervasive and scattered problem throughout the current American supply chain.

Posted by Heidi Schwartz

CVS Caremark has opened its new state-of-the-art Mail Service Pharmacy and Customer Center in Mt. Prospect, IL. The 150,000 square foot facility, representing an investment of approximately $67 million, supports pharmacy inventory and fulfillment needs across the CVS Caremark Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) book of business, which serves approximately 60 million members throughout the United States. With the capability to fill 50 million prescriptions annually, this new facility is an example of CVS Caremark’s continued investment and commitment to the State of Illinois.

During the recent ribbon cutting ceremony, CVS Caremark officials took the opportunity to recognize and thank supporters from the state and region who helped make the development of the Mt. Prospect mail service pharmacy possible. In fact, 59 Illinois-based businesses were used during the construction of the facility.

The new facility will employ more than 400 people by the end of 2013 including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, automation technicians and process improvement engineers. Proprietary technology at the facility enables 90 percent of prescriptions to be dispensed and 80 percent of prescriptions to be packaged for mailing using full automation.

“We are pleased that CVS Caremark chose to build this new state-of-the-art facility in Mt. Prospect, IL,” said Gov. Pat Quinn. “I appreciate the role that CVS Caremark plays both as a national health care innovator and as an employer in our community.”
