There are some Medicare Part D medication plans that are so-called PREFERRED plans that either present contracts to small independent stores that are so bad we can't afford to accept them (i.e. we would get mostly negative profits for prescriptions filled) or we are not offered a contact at all. This is creating a completely unfair business environment that stacks the deck in favor of large corporate pharmacies. The real injustice is forcing our patients who prefer the service of the small independent to go to the larger impersonal chains or to mail order. They also reimburse the PREFERRED pharmacy at much higher rates than small independents. This is not a 'Free' Market that in any way helps supports small business. All we as Independent Pharmacies want is a fair level playing field!
