What is going to make it so much easier for them to catch doctor shoppers under this new system, which I still don't quite understand quite yet. Just curious. I hate to see the erosion of privacy, especially when it comes under the guise of providing more privacy.




The way I see it is that the monitoring from state to state will be done through insurance right now..I am not sure about oniine...but if you have to use your insurance to go see three different doc's and they prescribe the same thing for the same problem then that is called doctor shopping and they will catch it...my insurance wich is pretty good..BCBS-ppo..are a bunch of jerks...a couple weeks ago my doc gave me a script for Xanax...the bottle clearly stated take one on onset for anxity...so when I went to refill it the insurance would not cover it...too early...so I just paid for it myself..lucky that gen-Xanax $13..so go figure..but I think that for now this is the why they are doing this...now don't take me at my word here ..this is just the way I see it...I still have never gotten an answer to the queston about FL and if they HAVE to report to this monitoring system..they are not in the monitor state..so it stands to reason no..JMO...BOO

ps...at my pharmacy now you have to stand behind the red line till the patiant in front of you is finished..they say so that you can not hear what they are saying...
