When Should I Call A Network Health Pharmacist

By Sarah Wilczek, PharmD, pharmacist at Network Health

One of the perks of being a Network Health Medicare Advantage Plan member is that you can reach a local pharmacist by phone when you have a question.

What kind of questions can I call about?

Anytime you want the advice of a pharmacist, you can call. Our in-house pharmacists are available to help you with a variety of medication-related questions, including the below.

Medication Costs

We can work with you and your doctor to find a therapeutic alternative that can save you money. Examples include inhalers, blood thinners, diabetic medications and Parkinson’s medications.

Are you on a brand name medication? If so, we can help you find generic or lower-cost alternative medications or find available manufacturer assistance programs for your medication.

Are you in the coverage gap? We can review your medication list and look for ways to save on your out-of-pocket costs.

New Medications

Did your doctor mention you may need a new medication? Give us a call and we can estimate the cost, suggest more cost-effective alternatives, if available, and answer any questions you may have.

Upcoming Doctor Visit

Do you have an upcoming visit with your doctor? We can review your medication list, so you are prepared with questions to ask at your appointment.

Medication Side Effects

Do you have a question about your medication side effects or how it is working for you? We are here to help.
