I have UHC insurance and am prescribed fluoxetine (Prozac). Prescriptions that you take for longer than three refills must be ordered through their mail order pharmacy, OptumRX. Seems like they always take about a week to process and mail out the prescription, and then I’m waiting on USPS who take their time to get it to my mailbox.

All that mess instead of my doctor just sending my prescription to the pharmacy that is literally across the street from my apartment, where I could get it filled the same day. Been thinking about just starting to pay for it out of pocket so I can use my own pharmacist.
