Producer Applicants' Lawsuit - Has it hurt or helped the patients?

Just an update. DOH called me today and said they are now processing paperwork received in the first week of September (mine got there on Sept.6). The man I spoke with said it should be process and sent out in the next couple weeks and if I don't hear from them by then to call back. I'll know next time to apply atleast 90 days in advance just in case! :wtf:

Hope it arrives soon. With all the money the producers will soon be paying, you should be able to send your paperwork in 30 days prior to expiration and have it back on time a year from now. Take care.

Update: Today I received my renewed card in the mail, exactly 9 weeks to the day (Sept.6) that my paperwork was received. What a relief to finally be able to buy medication safely again.

nice to hear you got your card.The worst part of it was that the producers had there hands tied on being able to supply you if you don't have a card that is current. All good now.

Yes Alfonso. I did not follow the bad advice I got to go ahead and order even though I was not current. I'm unwilling to jeopardize my good standing by doing that, or buying it from anyone anywhere for that matter. I would rather go without than be in a position that would cause me to lose my program eligibility.

Good thinking! If any of the LNPP were to sell to you with an expired card THEY would have jeopardized their license. Hoping none of them offered to sell to you without seeing your card. We all have to follow the rules if we want to keep this program. Glad to hear your card finally arrived.

OK, I know I am late on this thread,but I sent my app in Aug 22rd and I got my card Nov 2nd. Approx 73 days just for the record. Glad I now have it.

Let me just say I am confused by the actions or inactions of the dispencarys in Albq. I applied to all local disp. on the 3rd and have only heard back from 2-3 out of 10 to let me know I am reg'd and able to purchase. the rest have not even replied. Guess they don't get my money. Bad business in my opinion.

Thanks for participating. Maybe now that they have been able to acquire the funding needed to hire a few more people, the turn around time will get back to 30 days.
Regarding the producers....unless you need a password from them to access their web pages, you should be able to call them, ask regarding status, and order. They usually ask for your patient ID # so have that available. With over 4,000 active patients and many receiving the same info you did during the last thirty days, the producers don't have the staffing or time to contact each patient. Contact the one you are most interested in dealing with first and then each one after. Good luck!

I'm having the same issue. I contacted serveral and fax info to the one closet to me on 11-8-2011 and called on 11-10-2011 and still nada.
