Today, one of my pharmacists and I caught on to a nice little fraudulent scheme being run by one of the diabetics that comes into my (relatively) new Harmacy. He comes to us claiming that his insulin pen (a pre-filled container of insulin with threading for screw-on needle tips and a dial-down for dosaging) is faulty and asking us to contact the manufacturer for a replacement. Now, normally, this wouldn't be cause for concern, except that he hasn't received and paid for his insulin pens from us since early June. Based on his dosaging, each pen lasts him 10 days. Early June to late November is a bit more than the 30 day supply he received with his last prescription. Upon further investigation into this matter, we found that he has other gaps in his insulin regimen on our files. Now, I'm aware he could be getting his insulin pens from another pharmacy, but he should be contacting them for replacements and not us. So, either he is defrauding the manufacturer of his insulin pens or simply wasting our time. I'd put money on the former.

It would not shock me to learn that he has a round of a few different pharms that he hits up for the whole "this is faulty, get me a replacement" routine.
