Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that choosing the right service for your health and wellness needs comes with questions. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you make an informed decision.
How do I get my prescriptions covered through worker’s compensation?
If your injury is work-related, your doctor will prescribe the necessary medications, and your worker’s compensation claim will cover them. The pharmacy will verify your claim details before filling the prescription.
Do I have to pay for my prescriptions if I have a worker’s compensation claim?
In most cases, worker’s compensation covers the full cost of approved medications, so you won’t have to pay out of pocket. However, coverage depends on claim approval and the specific medications prescribed.
Can I use any pharmacy for worker’s compensation prescriptions?
Some insurance providers require you to use specific pharmacies, while others allow you to choose. It’s best to check with your worker’s compensation provider or ask the pharmacy if they accept your claim.
What should I do if my worker’s compensation claim is still being processed?
If your claim is pending, you may need to pay for your medication upfront and seek reimbursement later. Some pharmacies offer assistance or work directly with your worker’s compensation provider to prevent delays.
Do I need a new prescription if my medication is covered by worker’s compensation?
Not necessarily. If your doctor has already prescribed the medication for your work-related injury, it should be covered under your claim. However, refills and long-term medication use may require additional approvals.
