1. Do you think they were speaking on behalf of your insurance company and not Walgreens?

They are obligated to fill it if your insurance approves it. However, doctors need to provide letters of medical necessity. I would think oxycodone would be a med that requires preapproval. Did you change Part D providers?

Check your Part D formulary.
