Hey, Buddy! My Wife Has Medicare Part D!

Yeah, yeah, everyone in South Florida has Medicare Part D. Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Part D recipient. Problem is, this fella, who was picking up his wife's ALBUTEROL SOLUTION FOR NEBULIZATION, did not quite understand the concept of Medicare Part B.

You see, for all you amateur pharmacists out there, Part D was created to provide "coverage" for those medications not previously covered under Part B (with a few exception). Part B covers Strips and lancets for diabetics, immunosuppresants, cancer chemotherapy drugs, AND MEDICATIONS FOR NEBULIZERS. Tried to tell the man twice about the difference, but to no avail. Paid his $15 co-pay (20% mind you), but will come back with the wife's "sub insurance" card. Whatever the hell "sub insurance" is, unless he has a submarine covered by Allstate...

Otherwise, a quiet day. Only had to clean up after my idiot partner (did I mention she's the pharmacy manager) 3 times today. Not bad after being away for 10 days.
