I currently utilize a 90-day mandatory mail order maintenance program (i.e. VA, PPO, HMO, etc.), can I receive a 90-day supply with my-medPak?

I currently utilize a 90-day voluntary mail order or retail maintenance program, can I receive a 90-day supply with my-medPak?
As a standard, my-medPak is normally provided on a monthly basis (30-day supply). However, if your insurance plan allows for a 90-day supply through mail order or at retail, then we can provide you with a 90-day supply. Please note that because you are receiving a 90-day supply of medication, the synchronization process may take longer.

I am taking OTCs, vitamins, and supplements; can these types of medications be packaged in my-medPak?
Yes. When you enroll in my-medPak, provide detailed information regarding your OTCs, vitamins, and supplements, including dose and administration times. my-medPak will then synchronize and package them with your prescription medications.

Are there any medications that cannot be packaged in my-medPak?
We can package most medications, but there are certain medications that we do not package and that are not recommended to be included in the multiple dose strip packaging. These medications include but are not limited to the following: “as needed” or “PRN” medications, acute medications such as antibiotics and pain medications, controlled (CII) medications, injectables, liquids, chewable tablets, dissolvable tablets and medications that may change strength and dosage frequently (such as Coumadin). my-medPak can still dispense these medications, but they will not be included in your monthly box. If you are unsure of how a certain medication may be packed, just ask the my-medPak Care Team for more details.

Can you package half tablets?
Yes. If your prescription is written for a half tablet or if your doctor prescribes a dose that is not made by the manufacturer, my-medPak will package half tablets and/or split dosages as specified by your physician.

How long will it take for all of my medications to be filled (synchronized) in the my-medPak Program?
During the synchronization phase, we will work closely with your physician(s) and current pharmacy provider to transition and transfer all of your active prescriptions into my-medPak. Depending on the amount of medications you have remaining and when they will run out, your first my-medPak could take up to two to three months to synchronize. During this phase, it is our goal to synchronize your medications as quickly as possible and then refill them at the same time each month so you can begin to see the benefits of the my-medPak program.

How will my medications be packaged and how will I know when to take each?
my-medPak organizes your medications by time of day. Each month, your medications will be prepared and packaged in sequential order in your my-medPak box. Each medication is given “hours of administration” (HOA) times based on the time of day you take the medication. The my-medPak Care team can work with you and your physician to determine the most effective and convenient times to take your medications. The HOA time/category is printed on every pack and illustrates what time to take your medication. my-medPak will package up to five different medications in one pack, and each refill is provided in a 30-day supply.

Do I need to call and reorder the my-medPak box every month, or will it come automatically?
No. You do not need to reorder your my-medPak box. Every month, the my-medPak Care Team will contact you seven to ten days prior to the start of your new my-medPak box. It is very important that you discuss any changes (dosage increases/ decreases and discontinued meds) in your medication regimen with the my-medPak Care Team, as this will affect your next my-medPak box.
Back to top
Do I still need to call my doctor for prescription refills?
No. Once you are enrolled in the my-medPak program, we will communicate with your doctor(s) on an on-going basis for all of your prescription needs. Receiving prescriptions directly from your doctor(s) is the easiest and most accurate way to communicate.
Back to top
What happens if I have a medication change?
my-medPak will manage any medication changes (additions/discontinuations/changes in strength/etc.). Please contact my-medPak immediately upon any medication changes so we can properly communicate with your doctor(s) to accommodate these changes.

How should I store the my-medPak box?
The my-medPak box is not childproof, so it needs to be kept out of the reach of children. Remember, even childproof does not mean child-resistant. Keep it in a safe place that you will remember so that you take your medications at the appropriate times. The my-medPak box should be stored in a cool area away from humidity.

Can I return the my-medPak box?
