Mail-order prescription drug deliveries have encountered “significant delays” after U.S. Postal Service changes put in place by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, two senators said.
The delays stretched delivery times to 3 to 4 days, from 2 to 3 days, pharmacies and benefit managers reported, according to a Sept. 9 letter and report from Senators Robert Casey of Pennsylvania and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
