How to transfer a prescription? Is easier than you thought!

So, you’re considering transferring your prescription from your old pharmacy to a new pharmacy. You’ve come to the right place, because we are quite familiar with the process (wink wink). We believe there can be many benefits to switching pharmacies. For example, different pharmacies may offer better pricing, a more convenient location, or other perks. Specifically, when transferring to Pandia Health you’ll have access to a range of benefits such as FREE delivery, better cash options, and top rated patient care advisors available Monday to Sunday. Fortunately, the process is easier than you may think!

What does ‘transfer a prescription’ mean?

‘Transferring a prescription’ simply refers to when you move your active prescription from one pharmacy to another. Simply put, transferring prescriptions simply refers to when you switch pharmacies. You may also want to switch to a new pharmacy because you want a new pharmacist, one that gives you health tips and information about your specific medication. You are eligible to transfer your prescription to Pandia Pharmacy if you currently have a prescription at a pharmacy that you have picked up within the last three months.

Can I transfer my prescription to any pharmacy?

Unfortunately, you cannot transfer your prescription to any pharmacy, due to insurance limitations and medication limitations. Some insurance plans offer the same coverage at any pharmacy, but many pharmacies have different deals with specific insurers to offer lower out of pocket price. Pandia Pharmacy works closely with insurance companies to find the best pricing options for our patients. We also offer cash options for those who don’t have insurance (or don’t want to fight insurance on how many refills they can get at once).

Transferring your birth control prescription to Pandia Pharmacy is a great option if you want the benefits of Pandia Health’s services (lower prices, prescriptions brought to your home address, etc) but do not reside in a state where we offer telehealth services. To get started, make an appointment with a prescribing physician and ask them to send your prescription information to Pandia Pharmacy.
