Coverage and prior authorization
If the patient is enrolled in hospice, medications related to the hospice diagnosis are generally covered by the hospice benefit, often through a pharmacy the hospice chooses. Other medications are billed to the patient’s prescription plan, which may require a prior authorization or set quantity limits. We check which benefit applies and coordinate with the care team before filling.
Questions
The care team changed a dose. What happens to the old supply?
We fill the new prescription and can explain how to set aside or dispose of medication that’s no longer needed, including controlled medications.
Swallowing tablets is getting hard. Are there other forms?
Many medications come as liquids, dissolving tablets or other forms. Ask the care team, and we’ll tell them what’s available and covered.
