I finally spoke with an Empower operator after 2 hours and 15 minutes on hold. She told me that they still needed more information for the refill request from my doctor - for a years old unchanged prescription. Of course my doctor has tried to provide that and can't contact them either which I told her. She promised she would call them directly and then call me back. I am not holding my breathe. So after a two and a half hour ordeal I am no closer to getting this prescription filled - and this is a routine refill.
