question from a user
And can you write scripts that can be use for insurance? Like thryroid meds and hcg?
AlphaMD's Answer
We do sometimes work with local pharmacies instead of compounding pharmacies when patients ask for it. It's just important to note that your insurance still has to choose to cover the script, and that's on your end to figure out, and if we can do this can vary by state.
We do lower the cost to patients who do this, but we're still assuming your care under us & it takes us the same amount of resources to manage a patient, so there's going to be a monthly fee all the same.
One thing that we've noticed works really good is when someone has insurance with a HSA. Many times the patient is able to use that card/account to pay for our services as there's a lot more freedom there.
