How Do I Find Out if My Doctor Is Writing Prescriptions Under My Name Illegally?
Question by eltelford: How do I find out if my doctor is writing prescriptions under my name illegally?
I suspect that an old physician of mine is writing drugs for himself under our family name. The delivery man for the pharmacist in that town told a friend of mine that he delivered something under my name to the doctor’s office. I haven’t used this physician in over three years. I have asked the pharmacy (which is the only pharmacy in that town) for information about anything filled under our names. I’m supposed to receive a list through the mail next week. I don’t know if they are going to be honest with me. The pharmacist and the physician are old buddies. Is there a third organization I could contact to get accurate information about how our names have been used by this doctor? He’s well known to have a prescription drug abuse problem in the past. That’s small towns for you….
