As a surge in deliveries strain the postal system and the Trump Administration opposes additional funding for the U.S. Postal Service, some patients report delays in receiving their medications.
Health care providers encourage patients to be proactive about their health if their prescription delivery is delayed. Here's what they can do:Whether it’s a community or mail-order pharmacy, experts suggest calling right away to find out the status of a prescription. If it’s been filled and on its way, some pharmacies can work with a patient's doctor and insurance company to sell a limited supply until the medications arrive.
If patients are unable to get a limited supply from their pharmacy, where they would probably have to pay in cash, their doctor could have samples of that medication to take while waiting for the order to arrive.Before a prescription is delayed, patients should find out if they can be prescribed a 90-day supply of the medication so they don’t have to order a refill every month. They should find out the earliest they can order a refill and call the pharmacy before their medications run out.
