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
for our patients. Due to this, we can only fill for patients who are actively
receiving care at PCHS. We can fill prescriptions written by PCHS providers
and your specialist providers (in most cases) to help reduce the cost
of medicines for our patients.
Please ask our Pharmacy staff if you have any questions about your prescription pricing.
Navigating the Refill Process
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.
Medication Safety is Priority
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.
