PRESCRIPTIONS BY MAIL

The other day I called my doctor's office to get a refill on my blood pressure medication.  The nurse asked me a question that I had not been asked before.  It was:  Do you want me to call it in to the pharmacy or do you have your prescriptions delivered in the mail?

I found this curious and asked her about it.  Her reply was that in order for her insurance to cover the prescription, that after the first one, she has to get her refills by mail.  This must be a cost saving measure.
