Prescriptions.plus is an educational portal for people injured at work and the professionals who help them. It explains medications, workers' comp prescriptions, home delivery and medical supplies, and lists attorneys, doctors and pharmacies. It is not a pharmacy, law firm, medical provider, insurer or claims administrator.
Learn more →No. Prescriptions.plus does not fill, dispense, sell or ship medication. It lists pharmacies and can pass a consented delivery request to a licensed partner pharmacy, which handles everything about the prescription.
Learn more →No. Everything here is for education only. For medical questions talk to your doctor or pharmacist; for questions about a claim talk to a workers' comp attorney or your claim adjuster. In an emergency call 911.
Learn more →Sponsored marks a paid placement — for example a pharmacy that pays to show its phone number and rank in the top five for its ZIP code, or the one Featured pharmacy per ZIP code. Sponsored is advertising, not a recommendation.
Learn more →Professionals — attorneys, doctors, pharmacies and program partners — pay monthly marketing fees for listings and placement. Prescriptions.plus never bills for care, medication or devices, and it is free for patients and injured workers.
Learn more →In general, workers' compensation covers medically necessary prescriptions for an accepted work injury, but the rules — which drugs, which pharmacies, and what approval is needed — vary by state and by claim. Your claim adjuster or a workers' comp attorney can tell you what applies to you.
Learn more →Bring the prescription (or have your doctor send it electronically), your claim number, the date of injury, your employer's name, and the insurer or claims administrator's name and phone number if you have them. Without claim details the pharmacy may ask you to pay and seek reimbursement later.
Learn more →It depends on your state and your claim. Some states and insurers use pharmacy networks or require a specific pharmacy; others let you choose. Ask your adjuster before you fill, and keep receipts if you pay out of pocket.
Learn more →Ask the pharmacist why — it is often missing claim information, a needed prior approval, or a drug the claim's formulary doesn't cover. Call your adjuster and your prescribing doctor. If the claim itself is disputed, a workers' comp attorney can explain your options.
Learn more →Not always. Many claims are handled without one. People often talk to a workers' comp attorney when a claim is denied or delayed, benefits stop, a settlement is offered, or the injury is serious. You can ask an attorney whether the first consultation is free.
Learn more →Get medical care first — call 911 for an emergency. Then report the injury to your employer in writing as soon as you can, ask how to file a workers' comp claim, keep copies of everything, and follow your treatment plan.
Learn more →Often, yes. Many pharmacies deliver locally or mail prescriptions. On Prescriptions.plus you can request home delivery and a licensed partner pharmacy can contact you about options in your area. Some medications have legal limits on delivery.
Learn more →Some delivery programs work directly with workers' comp claims so an injured worker doesn't have to travel to a pharmacy. Use "Workers' comp case? See delivery options" in the pharmacy finder to hear about the options in your area.
Learn more →A mail-order pharmacy is a licensed pharmacy that fills prescriptions and ships them to your home, usually for medicines you take regularly. Your doctor sends the prescription to it just as they would to a local pharmacy.
Learn more →Through the Prescriptions.plus mail-order program, a practice adds a home-delivery partner pharmacy to its e-prescribing. It connects to most major EMR and e-prescribing systems, there is a $5 dispensing fee, and our training team installs it.
Learn more →Use the Prescriptions.plus pharmacy finder: enter your ZIP code to see pharmacies in that ZIP and nearby ZIP codes on a list and a map, or browse the directory by state and city.
Learn more →Every pharmacy is listed free with its name and address. Pharmacies that claim their listing can show their phone, website, photos, offers and coupons; those listings are labeled Sponsored.
Learn more →Open the listing and choose "Claim this listing". A claimed listing is $499 a month and ranks in the top five for its ZIP code; the Featured #1 spot is $1,500 a month, three times larger, and limited to one pharmacy per ZIP code.
Learn more →Pharmacy names and addresses come from the public NPPES NPI Registry maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Claimed pharmacies can add their own details. Always confirm hours and services with the pharmacy.
Learn more →The Prescriptions.plus medication guides explain what common medicines are used for, what they look like, key label warnings and questions to ask your pharmacist. They are educational and don't replace your doctor's or pharmacist's advice.
Learn more →Your pharmacist and prescribing doctor. Bring a list of everything you take, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements. For a severe reaction or trouble breathing call 911; for a possible poisoning call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
Learn more →No. Materials sold for research use only are not approved by the FDA for human use and are not prescriptions. Prescriptions.plus keeps research-use-only content separate and labeled, and never on consumer care pages.
Learn more →Medically necessary equipment prescribed for an accepted work injury — such as a brace or a cold-therapy device — may be covered, but approval rules vary by state and claim. Ask your doctor to document why you need it and check with your adjuster.
Learn more →Visit the Prescriptions.plus medical supplies section, choose "Get more information" and a supplier can contact you about bracing and recovery devices delivered by mail. A prescription is usually needed.
Learn more →Workers' comp attorneys can market their firm in chosen ZIP codes and case categories and receive consented requests from injured workers in that territory, with a back office for intake and follow-up.
Learn more →Doctors and clinics can list their practice by ZIP code and modality to receive consented requests from injured workers and attorneys, and can add our home-delivery pharmacy to their e-prescribing through the mail-order program.
Learn more →Prescriptions.plus is an educational portal. We are not a pharmacy, law firm, medical provider, insurer or claims administrator, and nothing here is medical or legal advice. Educational purposes only. Medical emergency? Call 911.
