DO I NEED TO BRING IN MY OWN MEDICATIONS?

Answer

Our facility pharmacy, Value Healthcare, will supply all medications according to the physician's orders, and the pharmacy will make any appropriate generic brand substitutions as appropriate. Medicare and managed care patient’s prescriptions are covered by the hospital in accordance with the insurance plan. Prescriptions are directly billed to the private pay patient by the pharmacy.

The facility provides some generic over-the-counter medications to be used during the patient’s stay per physician’s orders, e.g., vitamins, pain relievers, and laxatives. If a patient wishes to have a specific trade brand name medication that we  do  not  stock, they may request  family or friends to bring in their own supply if it is in an unopened container with an intact manufacturer’s label.
