Mail order prescriptions

Mail order prescriptions

There are many benefits to using a mail order pharmacy to get your prescribed medications.
Cost Savings: You will pay just two copays instead of two and one-half copays for a three-month supply or 100-day supply.
Convenience: You can fill prescriptions you take all the time( maintenance medications), such as blood pressure, cholesterol, allergy, and diabetes medications by phone or online and have them delivered to the physical address of your choice. This means fewer trips to the pharmacy and no waiting in line!
Accuracy and safety: If you are taking multiple medications on a regular basis, the pharmacy tracks your prescriptions’ strength, dosage and potential interactions against your full medication profile each time a prescription is processed.
• Excellent customer service: Our mail-order pharmacies provide the same high-quality service that you get from your neighborhood pharmacy. Your medications come right to your doorstep with no-cost standard shipping.
• Accuracy and safety: All of the medications they have on file from all your doctors are reviewed to look for drug interactions that may be harmful. If there is a potential problem with your medications, a pharmacist will review the prescription and contact you or your doctor to help make sure your medications will work together safely and effectively.
• Help in managing your ongoing medications... and sticking with them: Several studies have indicated that patients who use mail order pharmacies are more likely to have better adherence to their prescriptions compared with patients who obtained medication refills at local neighborhood pharmacies. The added convenience of longer prescription durations via mail order makes it easier to stay compliant with medications.
