Walgreens

I have to say that Wag’s doc in the box saved my ass many times. Especially on a Sunday night when I had an appointment with my regular doc that was still three weeks out. My problem is with their billing. I came after work about a month ago and everything was fine. Today I get a letter in the mail from a collection agency. The insurance that they submitted was one that I had over two years ago. Even though I gave them my new card, I put the information in the computer at the store and they made a copy of everything including my ass! So I went to the store and the same doc and nurse were there and I explained to them what had happened. I was told that they did nothing wrong and I need to call Walgreen and straighten this out. Again, They told me that it was not their problem, even though they are the one’s who took my information and submitted the paperwork. I can see that this is just the beginning of my journey into hell. As Betty Davis once said. Fasten your seatbelts, It’s going to be a bumpy night!

their clinic is pretty great if you have something pretty basic (in my case, strep throat) and can’t get an appointment with your normal doctor. when I went in, I didn’t get to see the nurse practitioner right away because I showed up around lunchtime. luckily I live nearby, so I went home for an hour and came back. got a strep test, picked up the prescription right there, and was on my way. pretty convenient.
