Patient’s Right to Choose the Pharmacy Policy

• We are privileged to offer our Pharmacy Services to you. However, we recognize that you have a wide range of choices and have every right to choose a pharmacy to fill your prescriptions.
• You are not required for any reason to fill the prescriptions with us. Neither the pharmacy nor the provider can compel you to fill prescriptions at a certain location. At most, they can refer you to a pharmacy for convenience, drug availability, pricing, delivery etc. Other than the convenience of delivery and drug availability to the patient, there is no inducement.
• If your prescription is at our pharmacy and you wish to transfer it to another pharmacy, we promise to facilitate the transfer with no questions asked. If the pharmacy of your choice calls us asking for a transfer, our pharmacist will give the transfer to them without delay. If you wish for us to call the pharmacy and give them the transfer, we will be glad to do so. We will make every effort to transfer the prescription to the pharmacy within two hours provided the receiving pharmacist is available.
• If we are unable to fulfill the prescription, we may transfer your prescription to another pharmacy location that may be able to fulfill the order. Such transfer will be made for delivery area, third-party coverage, network participation, drug availability, compounding services availability etc. Neither pharmacy is incentivized for such transfer, and you are not required to fill the prescription at either of the locations. By accepting prescription, you give us permission for the transfer. Please let us know if you wish not to receive the prescription from the new pharmacy location and we will facilitate transfer to the pharmacy of your choice.
