Steps to take now with your prescription drugs

The first seven to ten days of the new year are extremely busy for your local pharmacy. People have new insurance plans. Some have waited until the first of the year to get their prescription. And the pharmacy has to take extra time updating customers' information.

Don't get caught short.

Check now before the end of the year to make sure you have enough of your prescription drugs to last you through the first few days of the new year. 

Double check that your current pharmacy is still a part of your plan's preferred network. 

If you need to switch your prescriptions to a new pharmacy, talk to your pharmacist to find out what you can do right now to avoid any delays in getting your prescriptions filled during the first week of the new year.
