“IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMPOUNDING PHARMACY AND A REGULAR PHARMACY?”

Yes! A compounding pharmacy specially prepares customized prescription medications for patients when a prescriber orders a unique medication formula.

“HOW ABOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE?”

Usually a pharmacy electronically bills for prescriptions through NDC (National Drug Code number) of the prescribed medication. However, compounded prescriptions do not have a recognized NDC. In order to bill your insurance an itemized claim has to be generated and submitted, showing each ingredient's NDC and often several other pieces of information- depending on the insurance company's requirements. Please allow sufficient time since this is a labor intensive process for each claim.

At the moment we are finalizing insurance billing set-up with most plans. However, whether your insurance pays for your compounded medication or not is still up to your insurance and in the event of a rejected claim we can supply you with a Universal Claim Form to submit to your insurance yourself. Reimbursement is not a guarantee. Please check with your insurance company regarding coverage. All other prescriptions (non-compounded prescriptions) will be able to be transmitted for billing electronically as a regular claim. We can bill all your prescription refills on going.

"I AM NOT ABLE TO COME IN WHEN YOU'RE OPEN”

We can ship your medications discretely right to your door!  Discounted shipping rates apply for either USPS or UPS.  Delivery of medications may also be available in your area.  Call the pharmacy and determine if you are in our current delivery area.

Have your prescriber fax in your prescription: 858.312.1130

Remember to include your name, date of birth and phone number to reach you so we can let you know pricing and completion time prior to compounding.
