While we strive to refill orders the same day, we recommend that you order refills when you have a 5-7 day supply of medication left so that there will be no interruption in your medication regimen. This allows our staff to process refill authorization requests and address other possible issues with insurance and/or medication supply.

State prescribing regulations require a standardized prescription for some drugs categorized as controlled substances each time they are filled.

Extra Help is a federal program that helps pay for some to most of out-of-pocket costs for Medicare prescription drug coverage. It is also known as the Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS).
What is the income limit? To qualify for Extra Help, your annual income must be limited to $18,735 for an individual or $25,365 for a married couple living together. Even if your annual income is higher, you may still be able to get help. Ask our pharmacy staff about details, we can help you sign up for financial assistance programs or direct you to valuable resources.

Co-pay amounts are set by your insurance carrier, and each carrier offers many plans. The simplest explanation would be tiering; medications are categorized in three tiers. Most insurance plans assign a different co-pay amount with each tier.
For example, with a popular plan from a local carrier, there is a $10 co-pay for Tier 1 drugs, $30 for Tier 2, and $50 for Tier 3; while a well-known Medicare D plan sets its co-pays at $0 for Tier 1, $3 for Tier 2, and $7 for Tier 3. Most insurance plans require that the pharmacy collect co-payment at the time of service. Call the pharmacy to make arrangements that work best for you.

By law, we are not allowed to accept returns of prescription medications. We want you to be happy and satisfied with our products and services. We will accomodate requests to remedy any issues. Please read our Return Policy for details.
