If you manage one or more prescription medications for yourself or a loved one, you know it can be challenging at times. A new survey conducted by AllianceRx Walgreens Prime found that more than half (57 percent) of adults surveyed take prescription medicine regularly, with the percentage increasing steadily with age. Additionally, nearly three quarters (73 percent) of adults manage all or most of the medicine needs for themselves or their family.To help ease your prescription management, AllianceRx Walgreens Prime offers the following tips:
Ask your pharmacist about prior authorization: Ask your pharmacist now if prior authorizations are required or need updating. If so, submit new insurance information to your pharmacy and update your financial assistance or copay information.
Ask your health plan about medication coverage: Check with your health plan to determine if your medication coverage will change in the new year. Verify your copay costs and contact your health plan with any questions.
Ask your doctor about appointments: Contact your doctor about prescription refills. Schedule an appointment now, if required, for new or existing medication. During your appointment, discuss any medication concerns with your doctor.
Ask your doctor to verify your ePrescribe pharmacy of record: Verify with your doctor who they have listed as your pharmacy of record and update if necessary.
