Physicians and the AMA are accusing retail clinics of having a conflict of interest:
The AMA and local physicians-group representatives add to their list of concerns what they view as an inherent conflict of interest: When an in-store clinic writes a prescription, it can be filled inside that store.
“The concern is that patients may be prescribed medications that are unnecessary or more expensive than necessary, based on the interests of these clinics,” said Dr. Randy Wexler, who practices in Gahanna and is a board member of the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians.
