Get your prescription BEFORE you leave the hospital!
As healthcare workers, we are daughters/sons, parents, siblings, and caretakers, too. We know how stressful it can be when a hospital stay is brought into our already-busy lives.
Not to mention, being in the hospital and then waiting in line for medications at the pharmacy after discharge can be taxing. Memorial is helping simplify this process by bringing your prescription to you prior to discharge so you can heal and rest once at home.
That’s why we offer Meds-to-Beds, a convenient bedside delivery service for prescription medications. Taking your medications as prescribed is the best way to help make sure you have a safe return home and a complete recovery – and to ensure you won’t need to return to the hospital.
And, don’t worry, a pharmacist is available to answer your prescription questions during your stay, as well as after you leave the hospital.
At Memorial Hospital, we’re committed to making you feel at home during your stay with us. And to getting you back there. When it’s time for you to leave our hospital, we want to make sure you get home as quickly and safely as possible – so recovery can be your #1 priority.
“Totally appreciated having meds in hand before I left the hospital! Saved my wife from having to get them… great service.”
– Kelsey, Memorial Hospital patient, December 2023
How Meds-to-Beds Works
- A pharmacy team member will visit you while you’re in the hospital and review a complete list of your current medications, plus discuss any new prescribed medications.
- Our team member will ask if you would like to sign up for Meds-to-Beds bedside delivery and will then collect your insurance, as well as any prescription copays.
- Your prescription medication cost (copays) will be comparable to other retail pharmacies.
- Memorial provides this convenient and timely delivery at no extra cost to you.
- When your doctor places an order for your take-home prescriptions, we will coordinate any prior authorizations with your insurance to ensure there are no delays in starting your medications.
- If financial assistance is requested, our team is knowledgeable about free medication trials, prescription coupons, as well as a prescription medication program offered by our local United Way – to help you get the medicines you need.
- A pharmacy team member will then deliver your prescriptions directly to your hospital bedside and answer any questions before you leave.
