Paying for Your Prescriptions
Count on us to work with you, your health care team, and your insurance company to ensure your medications are as affordable as possible. Ask our knowledgeable staff about financial assistance options from drug manufacturers, foundations related to your medical condition, and other sources.
To learn about your prescription drug coverage and any applicable copays, contact your health insurance provider.
Generic Medications
To save you money, we’ll substitute a less expensive, FDA-approved generic medication when possible. We make this substitution only if the medication is safely interchangeable with, and a therapeutic equal to the brand-name medication prescribed by your provider. Our pharmacies offer generic medications for as low as $5 a month.
If you object to a substitution, tell us when you order your medication or before you leave the pharmacy.
Keep a Record of Your Medications
Protect your health by maintaining a complete, accurate list of all medications you take. Share this list with your pharmacist, primary care provider, and specialists. When your care team has a complete picture of what medications you take, they can help you avoid harmful drug interactions. Your record should include:
- Prescription medications
- Over-the-counter medications, such as pain relievers, antacids, and cold medicines
- Dietary supplements, such as vitamins and herbal supplements
- Topical medicines, such as creams and ointments
Tell your doctor and pharmacist about your allergies to medications or foods. Review and update your medication list in your MyChart account.
