Also in that article from MSNBC....it is misleading to say, you can request brand in your profile.
The insurance companies REQUIRE DAW dispense as written on the original RX every time you take one in. If that is not there, they will not pay the claim. They send in auditors to check this periodically and will withdraw money if their rules are not met
regarding DAW substitutions. This is not a law, but a financial penalty against the pharmacist and store.
Some people mistake this factor and make it sound like a "law", but it isn't.
