In-House Pharmacy

For your convenience, NYOH can fill many prescriptions prescribed by your NYOH provider for pick up at the location where you see your doctor—or the medications may also be delivered directly to your home.

Cancer treatment is complex and requires close monitoring. It can also be costly. That is why our pharmacists are specially trained in cancer treatment and focus exclusively on NYOH patients. They work closely with your physician on an individualized treatment regimen, ensuring you receive medications in a timely manner.

At our NYOH Patient Prescription Center, we also take the time to verify your insurance coverage for medications. Our dedicated pharmacy staff investigates Medicare, supplemental plans, co-payment assistance programs and other options—to make sure you are getting the maximum drug benefits available.

IN-OFFICE DISPENSING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you accept my prescription benefits coverage?

In most cases, yes, we do. We can process prescription claims with most major prescription benefits providers. We are also able to process Medicare Part B and Part D prescriptions, as appropriate.

Keep in mind that some plans require the use of a mail-order pharmacy to fill prescriptions for long-term use. We can help you determine the best available option for filling your prescription.

Will it cost me more to fill my prescription here than at a retail pharmacy?

No. It can often cost less to fill your prescription at our office because retail pharmacies often require immediate payment and may not be able to verify all coverage options before dispensing. These include Medicare, supplemental plans, co-payment assistance programs, etc.

Since we can do all of this before dispensing your medication and investigate alternative co-payment assistance resources, you could save money.

Do I have to fill my prescription at your office?

No. You are always welcome to fill your prescription at any pharmacy that accepts your prescription benefit coverage. We are offering this service as a convenience for our patients.

Should you decide to fill your prescription at another pharmacy, your decision will not affect the medical care you receive from our team at New York Oncology Hematology.

How long will it take to receive my medication?

We will fill your prescription as quickly as possible, following verification of available prescription benefit coverage and alternative co-payment assistance resources.

It may be available immediately. If not, we will call you to arrange a time to pick up your prescription and discuss your treatment plan with our pharmacy team.
