Why getting to the pharmacy is hard
Injured workers often cannot drive, cannot stand in a queue for long or rely on family members who are themselves working. Some are told not to drive while taking certain medications. Others live far from a pharmacy that can process a workers’ comp prescription.
When getting a prescription is difficult, people delay filling it, skip refills or ration medication. Those gaps can complicate recovery and make follow-up visits harder for the clinician. Reducing that friction is a practical way to support the plan of care you have already set.
What home delivery generally involves
In general terms, home delivery means a licensed pharmacy fills a prescription and ships it to the patient’s home, often with a pharmacist available by phone. Eligibility, coverage and which medications can be delivered depend on state law, the claim and the medication itself.
Patients usually need to confirm their address, claim details and a contact number. The free /prescription-delivery guide walks injured workers through these steps in plain language so they know what to expect.
- Patients with limited mobility or no transport
- Patients on longer courses of medication with regular refills
- Patients who live far from a suitable pharmacy
- Patients whose family support is limited during working hours
The provider mail-order pharmacy program
The provider mail-order pharmacy program at /mail-order-pharmacy is built for practices that treat injured workers. It explains how participating practices can help eligible patients receive prescriptions at home through licensed pharmacy partners, and what a practice needs to get started.
Your prescribing decisions remain entirely your own. The program is about getting the prescription you have already chosen to the patient, not about which medication is prescribed.
What the site does and does not do
prescriptions.plus is an educational and marketing site. It never dispenses medications, never bills for drugs or devices and never bills payers on your behalf. Dispensing and billing are handled by licensed pharmacies under applicable law.
The only thing the site charges providers for is a monthly marketing subscription for visibility and territory. Learning about the mail-order program and sharing delivery guides with patients is free.
Getting started
Start by reading the program details at /mail-order-pharmacy and sharing /prescription-delivery and /medications with patients who might benefit. If you would also like your practice to be visible to injured workers in your area, provider plans are available at /join.
