With rising health costs, patients are finding their insurance plans require higher copays for prescription and medical expenses. The choices you make about your medications, medical care, and lifestyle will have a profound effect not only on your quality of life but on your out-of-pocket expenses over the course of a year. Medicare Part D and many insurance companies now recognize the value of face-to-face consultations with your community pharmacist and will pay for this service if you meet certain criterion.

Through face-to-face consultations, the professional pharmacists at Hill’s can identify unneeded medications, opportunities to select less expensive alternatives, or a new medication that may improve your health. They can also provide important information on the proper usage of medications and offer advice on lifestyle choices from diet to exercise to help maximize the benefits of prescription therapy and improve your quality of life.
