This one is a stumper. 🤔

We review a real world case of autoshipment of prescription drugs - WITHOUT a documented prescription (cart before the horse)? And what federal legal requirements that seem to be missing here.

Article in the NY Times about this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/24/health/Covid-flu-elderly-Medicare.html (And anyone else notice the timing of this around enrollment for 2021?)

GoodRx cash price of Tamiflu: "average retail price of $105.94." https://www.goodrx.com/tamiflu 

Obra '90 overview: http://rx-wiki.org/index.php?title=Omnibus_Budget_Reconciliation_Act_of_1990

Here's why I am stumped: If this provider of Medicare supplements can just skip over the providers and OBRA 90 regulations, what OTHER Rx drugs will they be autoshipping millions of dollars' worth in the future?
