Medication Savings

 Medication Savings

Ezcare Pharmacy offers medication-saving services to help patients reduce their out-of-pocket costs on prescription medications. These services aim to provide affordable medication access and alleviate the financial burden of managing chronic conditions or ongoing medication needs.

Prescription Review: When a patient visits the pharmacy, the pharmacist or pharmacy staff member reviews the patient's prescriptions comprehensively. This review includes assessing the medications, dosages, and quantities prescribed.

Insurance Coverage Evaluation: The pharmacy staff checks the patient's insurance coverage and evaluates their formulary, which is a list of medications covered by the insurance plan. They identify any potential cost-saving opportunities by exploring generic or lower-cost alternatives that are therapeutically equivalent to the prescribed medications.

Manufacturer Discounts and Rebates: The pharmacy staff investigates available manufacturer discounts, rebates, or savings programs for specific medications. They may provide information on patient assistance programs offered by pharmaceutical companies that can help reduce the cost of medications for eligible patients.

Medication Counseling: The pharmacist or pharmacy staff member discusses the cost-saving options with the patient and provides detailed information on potential savings, including estimated costs, available discounts, and any necessary steps to take advantage of these savings. They also address any concerns or questions the patient may have about changing medications or utilizing savings programs.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support: The pharmacy continues to monitor the patient's medication needs and identifies new opportunities for cost savings as they arise. They may proactively contact patients when generic alternatives become available, or new discounts or savings programs are introduced.
