For your convenience, our specialty patient care coordinator will work with you to get your medication on time. The coordinator will remind you 4–10 days before each refill so you can choose a good time for your medication delivery. We will call you about a week before it’s time to refill your medicine. You may also request a new prescription or initiate a refill by calling the pharmacy 4–10 days before your refill is due and requesting your medication be refilled by providing your name, date of birth, refill prescription number and/or the name of the medication
First, your doctor or healthcare provider will contact us to request your new specialty pharmacy prescription. Then, our team will contact you directly to gather any additional information needed.
Our pharmacy is contracted with all the main insurers and benefits vary from patient to patient according to their chosen prescription benefit plan. However, we know that many specialty medications and unique health problems can be expensive, and battling insurance claims should be low on your priority list - that is why we have a team of skilled patient care coordinators here to help assist you along the way. Additionally, we have our non profit foundational support through Hometown Connect, Inc. that ensures access to quality affordable healthcare is not an obstacle for anyone no matter your race, demographic, socioeconomic status, or gender. Our advocates have access to other patient assistance programs (PAPs) that can provide financial help for your medication. Additionally, we may also be able to provide educational information about your health condition and refer you to appropriate advocacy/support groups.
Convenience and getting your medication on time are key. You may receive your medication by delivery to the address you designate for delivery, whether it be home or office, in unmarked and tamper-resistant packing for your privacy and safety. Medications requiring refrigeration arrive in a cold package and should be removed and stored in the refrigerator upon arrival. Additionally, we truly appreciate seeing our patients face-to-face. You are always welcome to pick up your prescription in person at the pharmacy. If you are local and would like one of our trained medical professionals to schedule in person training at our convenient location or even in your home we can schedule your injections, infusions, and follow up right inside our new state of the art Ambulatory Care Clinic. If your medication therapy requires routine blood work - we will take care of that in house and can follow up with your specialty medication provider on your progress with therapy. We realize that time and convenience with trusted well known pharmacy medication specialists is key to the success of your therapy and well being.
Hometown Specialty Pharmacy may still offer support for your chronic condition. Contact us by email or phone to discuss your condition and the support we can provide.
