Sure there are flaws to this, like that pesky state board, but really, we are a corporation, we should be able to get around that no problem!

Guess Who Found a Mess From the Overnight RPh?
I figured out a way to save my employer a truck-load of money. Our store is 24 hours, which equals 24 hours of pharmacist-on-duty. Our overnights give away more drugs for free (because you can totally trust people that come in as a new patient at 2am) then we get reimbursed for. So, I figure if we just leave the pharmacy open, without a pharmacist, and just have a "log book" of sorts, we'll actually be ahead of the game because we won't be paying the overnight pharmacist any money.

Or maybe have the pharmacy manager let the overnight pharmacists know that we do not give out free meds to patients when there is an insurance problem. It is cash & carry. I don't have a problem with prorating a drug price but I don't give stuff away for free....there goes my retirement...
If its losing money during the night-time hours, you could just do away with the 24-hour operation
Update: after one year of nothing but trouble, they did away with one of our over night RPhs. We will see if that solves all the problems we think it will.
I know what you mean, I'm an overnighter and we give a few tabs all the time bc if we don't, and then get a complaint, our pharmacy managers/supervisors come down on us for not "taking care of the patient." It would be a different story if our mid-level management supported pharmacy truly and weren't just pleasing customers
