How often should members review their mail order prescriptions?

Reviewing mail order prescriptions at each refill is important for several reasons. First, this practice allows members to check for any changes in their medication, including dosage adjustments or different medications that may have been prescribed since the last refill. It enables them to stay informed about their health care and ensures they are taking the right medications as directed by their healthcare provider.

Additionally, reviewing prescriptions at each refill gives members an opportunity to monitor their medication supply and ensure they are managing their health effectively. They can also identify any potential issues, such as expired medications or discrepancies in what they are receiving compared to what they were prescribed. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining their health and safety.

By contrast, other options lack the regular engagement necessary to effectively manage prescriptions. Reviewing prescriptions only once a month, every six months, or whenever one feels like it does not provide enough oversight. It could lead to missed opportunities for addressing medication concerns that could arise with changes in health status or treatment plans.
