Mail Order Prescriptions

My work health insurance offers a mail order prescription option. The online pharmacy would send me a three month supply of the medication for one co-payment. However, you have to get your doctor to fill out one of their forms and fax it in. I haven’t done this for any of my prescriptions yet since most of them are still changing. Right now I get all my medications from the Sav-On pharmacy located inside the local Albertson’s supermarket. It’s really close but still a pain since all of them refill at different times and I (or my parents) end up going there 5-6 times each month.

I just noticed in the pharmacy app that I can have them ship the medication to me. If I wait 2-3 days, it’s also free. Since these aren’t urgent refills, I asked the pharmacy to ship the latest batch of medications. If this works out, I’ll probably have them ship everything in the future so I can avoid going into the market.
