when applicable.
Prescriptions and Medications
Your choice of medications may be limited by your insurance companies list of preferred medications (called a formulary) and your co-pay for medications will be determined by the plan that your employer has set up. In most cases, the generic brand of a medication will have the least expensive co-pay, but not all medications have a generic equivalent.
Refills:
To refill prescriptions please notify your pharmacy. You may also call our office and ask for the prescription line. Please allow us up to 3 business days to process your request. For certain conditions, antibiotics and for controlled substances, you will need to make an appointment.
Save on Medications:
Check for online discounts: Good RX, Blink Health, and/or WERX.org. They will need the name of the drug, the dose, the number of pills and where you live. Then they show what you can expect to pay at various pharmacies if you use their discount coupons which you can print out or download to your phone.
Contact multiple pharmacies by phone or online, such as Independence, Grocery Stores, HealthWarehouse.com, Costco or Mail order pharmacies. Ask if they would honor discount coupons on line.
Check to see if it is cheaper to buy through your insurance plan, cash price using discount coupons, or in store discounts. Be persistent, be sure to ask for all available discounts.
Be aware that if you have insurance but opt not to use it for your prescription drugs, the money you spend will not count toward your deductible or out of pocket maximums.
