Prescription Refill Policy

If you need a refill on a previously prescribed medication, please contact your pharmacist one week prior to needing your refill. Your pharmacist will fax us your request along with the current dosages and medications for your healthcare provider's approval. Faxed requests from the pharmacy received after 4:00pm will not be distributed until the following day, therefore starting the 48 hour turnaround. For your safety, you may be asked to make an appointment with your healthcare provider before refilling your medication. Please remember to allow 48 hours for your refill request to be processed.

Mail-Order Pharmacies

If you choose mail-order prescription service your health care provider will be glad to produce written prescriptions for you to mail. Please call to let us know when prescriptions are needed and if you prefer the scripts to be mailed to you or placed at the front desk for you to pick up. Remember to allow 2 weeks to receive your medications in the mail.

Insurance

All commercial insurances will be billed for you, applicable co-pays are due at the time of your visit. If we are not in your insurance company’s preferred network, your insurance benefits may not pay us as they would an in-network provider and you will be responsible for the difference. If you are a self-pay patient, payment is due at the time of service. We accept most types of insurance at Tri-State Memorial Hospital & Medical Campus. If you have questions if one of our providers is "in network" for your health insurance plan, please contact your insurance company directly or you may contact one of our Patient Access Representatives at 509.254.2716.
