Yeah well the problem with discussing drugstores in general retailing terms is you get hit in the head with all these HMO issues. What a messed up system. However just to talk efficiency and cost cutting, imo HMOs do a lot of stupid things like squeeze on drugstores and restrict patient visits, which make consumers very unhappy, when what they should be doing is automating the paper chain.

I am joining a new HMO and I need to send my records there - a totally paper process, I have to send a written request to my old HMO and they did up the paperwork and MAIL it to my new HMO. But amazingly records are not cumulative... could be a legal issue here I don't know... so any relevant medical records from the past need to also be requested - this is what I call inefficient. All this stuff should be online under my name - but that isn't possible due to privacy concerns.
