Affordable Medications
With the cost of healthcare increasing, PCHS pharmacies are dedicated to helping our patients make prescriptions costs more affordable through:
Access to the federal government’s 340B program of low-cost medications
Discounted pricing by using the PCHS Sliding Scale
Optimizing 90 day supplies if able
Recommending alternative medications that may be more affordable
Timing your prescriptions so you have less trips to the pharmacy
Ask our pharmacy team how we can help to lower your medication cost!
PCHS pharmacies access the 340b program to receive discounted medications. Due to this, we can only fill for patients of PCHS and for prescriptions written by PCHS providers. Occasionally, we can fill prescriptions written by other providers, IF:
PCHS providers referred the patient to the specialist
The specialist sends their visit notes to the PCHS provider so they can see what was discussed and prescribed in visit
The medication falls under the scope of primary care (ie, not specialized care like Chemotherapy)
PCHS pharmacies must be very careful about following the rules of the 340b program so that ALL our patients can continue to benefit from reduced medication pricing.
Please ask our Pharmacy staff if you have any questions about your specialist prescriptions.
Though we try to make filling out your prescription as painless and easy as possible at our pharmacies, navigating the pharmacy refill system can be challenging at times.
Here are some tips for making this process easier for you:
Keep track of when you are getting low on your medications – consider marking it on the calendar.
Call the filling pharmacy directly to request your medications
Call when you have 3-5 days of medication left in your bottle. Most systems ask for 48 business hours to respond to refill requests.
If it is a medication that is limited by your provider, do not request it more than 5 days before you are out.
If you call on the day that you are out, you can ask your filling pharmacy to loan you 3 days to last until your meds are approved.
Know which medications you need to refill. For your safety, you should ask for each specific medication instead of “all” or “the blood pressure one”, to make sure you get the correct medication refilled.
Each prescription that comes through PCHS pharmacies gets a thorough check for drug and disease interactions, dosing safety, therapy length, and, if needed, a phone call or direct meeting with your PCHS provider to make sure everything is correct and safe for you.
Each of our onsite pharmacies has secure medication disposal boxes conveniently located for the safe destruction of your unused medications. Medications disposed of this way to go an incinerator, so all information is confidential, and the drugs stay out of our soil and water supply. Ask our Pharmacy Team if you have questions about safe medication disposal.
