This company, EmpiRx is absolutely horrible! They only really exist to act as an intermediary, in the capacity of a bean counting pitbull, on behalf of their clients, whom are medical insurance companies that also provide prescription coverage, where under the guise of providing cost savings and efficiency to both us the end user, and our insurance providers, what's really going on is that they are doing everything in their power strictly to save the insurance company money, while doing absolutely nothing for those of us whom actually need quality prescription medications at a reasonable cost.
Through the use of bullying and intimidation tactics, they try to force you to accept cheap generics, even if you discover that after taking them, that they're ineffective and don't work for you, or even worse, cause you to have an adverse reaction due to the cheap fillers and other substandard ingredients used in many generics.
Sadly, if you do find that only a brand name medication works for you, with this fraudulent company, you're out of luck. Their objectives are designed to wear you down so that you throw in the towel, give up, and submit to whatever they tell you to do.
Their tactics are to deny your first request for a particular brand of medicine, and if you appeal, they'll go through the motions of requesting needless additional documentation from you or your physician, raising your hopes for an eventual resolution, all the while fully knowing they have no intention whatsoever of providing you with the brand name med you requested. This is their process, they are relentless, and it will continue unless you give up and take whatever ineffective generic they force you to accept.
Until my insurance company switched to these criminals, I had Optum Rx for my prescription meds and they were great, but since dealing with this bogus company, it's been nothing but a nightmare. They are without a doubt, absolutely the most unethical and dishonest company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Do yourself a big favor and run while you can!
