It’s Like Having 1 Prescription…
Instead of 10
Simplify My Meds is a
coordinated prescription
refill
program.It synchronizes a patient’s prescriptions to be refilled on the same day each month.Goal is to lower resistance for refills and access to medications.Creates the opportunity for an appointment based model.Slide4
Has Your Patient Ever…
Run out of a needed medication?
Called your office and asked for a
last minute refill? On the weekend?
Late in the evening? Needs it in a rush?
Do you feel like you or your staff return too many phone calls for refills? Wished you had more time to do the things you enjoy?Slide5
One Thing Less to Worry About
Less patient calls for prescription
refills. Refill requests will be
handled by the pharmacy.
Less time spent checking the same
patient's profile again and again. The pharmacist will review the patient's prescription list each month and will also monitor any changes from the prescriber.Increased patient adherence to therapies.Better tracking of patients with multiple prescribers.Slide6
The Patient Advantage
The pharmacy will coordinate refills for multiple family members so they are filled on the same day.
Patients will receive a reminder call from the pharmacy when a patient's refills are ready.
Delivery is available in most areas or to the
prescriber’s
office. Monthly refills allows for an appointment based model giving the patient more interaction with the pharmacist.Slide7
How Does It Work?
One week before the patient's scheduled pick-up or delivery, the pharmacy will call the patient.
The pharmacy reviews the patient's medications with them, to evaluate adherence and ADRs, answer any questions, and look for possible ways to save the patient money.
The pharmacist will review the
order
and contact the prescriber's office if refills are needed or the patient reports a change in therapy. The patient will receive a reminder call when the refills are ready.Slide8
How Do Patients Enroll?
Patients can self-enroll at the
pharmacy or can be referred by the
prescriber.
They bring all of their prescriptions
as well as their vitamins or
supplements to the appointment.
