@thecountertruth: POV: Someone asks how navigating medication backorders while learning the new Medicare Bridge Program is going… 😅 “I’m fine.” Meanwhile, we’re tracking inventory that changes by the hour, explaining insurance coverage, checking clinical eligibility, learning new billing requirements, answering provider questions, helping confused patients, and hoping today’s shipment actually shows up. Retail pharmacy isn’t boring… it’s organized chaos with a side of caffeine. 😂 If you’ve ever wondered what pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and healthcare teams are dealing with behind the counter, this is it. Between medication shortages, insurance changes, Medicare Bridge Program implementation, prior authorizations, and supply chain issues, every day is a new adventure. #PharmacyHumor #MedicareBridgeProgram #MedicationShortage #CapCut

Primary care MA— I can’t get the pharmacies to send the Medicare bridge PAs to us and the patients are getting mad at us. I’m so over PAs 😩

The worst is when their insurance actually covers it and trying to explain why they're not eligible for the $50 copay.

As an MA, please submit to bridge with their red white and blue numbers. Not their adv or part d! And please don’t assume that patients are on the bridge program unless we send instructions to send to bridge or

The bridge program is going to be the death of me. None of our pharmacies can do their end correctly and the providers won’t put the notations on the scripts.
