Prescription Insurance Consultations
Let's Take The Worry Out Of Picking Your Drug Plan
Navigating the insurance landscape can be a daunting task, even for many healthcare professionals. How do you know which plan is best for you and your family? What plans cover all my prescription medications? Will anything change if I don't switch from my current plan? These are all common questions our pharmacy team gets asked on a regular basis. Thankfully, Advanced Care is here to help you better understand the process of selecting your prescription drug plan, and can help walk you through each step of the journey. Even if you just need help deciphering all the information your insurance company sends you in the mail, we'll help break it down so it's easier to understand!
If you have a more complex scenario that steps out of our scope of expertise, we would be happy to refer you to a local insurance professional that can better assist you. It's important to remember that rules, laws, and regulations change frequently in the insurance world.
If you would like to know more about selecting an insurance plan, please contact us or visit Medicare.gov for more information.

Medication Synchronization
What is Medication Synchronization?
Medication synchronization is the process of lining up all your prescriptions to be picked up on the same day of the month rather than on scattered dates. The pharmacy team monitors when it's time to pick up your prescriptions and works with you and your providers to ensure there's never a missed refill. It also allows you to spend more 1-on-1 time with our team when you come to the pharmacy to make sure all your questions are answered.
How Does It Work?
Interested in participating in our medication synchronization program? Here's what it looks like to get started!
Medication Adherence
Although about two-thirds of Americans have a prescription medication, approximately 50% of people do not take their medications as prescribed. This can lead to poor health outcomes and can increase your overall healthcare costs.
Comprehensive Medication Reviews
We Can Help You Understand Your Medications
Trying to manage all your medications from many different prescribers can be a challenge, especially when you have to do it on your own. Taking some time to schedule a comprehensive medication review could be your next step to better health.
The pharmacists of Advanced Care are the medication experts. During an appointment-based session, we will help you understand the proper use of both prescription and over-the-counter products, optimize your medication regimen, discuss side effects, and provide overall health & wellness counseling.
Medications Adherence Packaging
Let's Make Some Sense Of All Those Pill Bottles
We understand how frustrating it can be when you don't know which medications you should still be taking. Thankfully, the Advanced Care pharmacy team is here to help.
Our adherence packaging solutions take all the guess work out of your medication regimen. Now, you can have your prescriptions sorted by the pharmacy into weekly pill packs so you can take your medications effectively. Additionally, we will synchronize all your prescriptions so you never miss a refill!
Hormone Replacement Therapy Consultations
Let Us Help You Find Your Center
Are you experiencing mood swings, hot flashes, chronic fatigue, migraines, loss of libido, or an inability to focus? You may be experiencing hormone imbalances that occur naturally in both men and women. While these symptoms may be unpleasant, you certainly do not have to live with them!
Our experienced pharmacists will help you identify your most troubling symptoms, provide hormone testing solutions and analyze the results, and work with your doctor to recommend a compounded prescription that is tailored exactly to your needs.
