Mobile App Q1 Answer

Call us and ask to speak with the nurse or a pharmacist. We can review your technique to see if there is anything you can adjust to make the injections less painful. If those suggestions don't help, we can let you know if there are other devices or options available for administering the medication. As an example, some people find using syringes to be more comfortable than the auto-injector pens.

This is a situation where you will want to plan ahead so you can choose the best Medicare plan for your needs. A great resource is your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). These are state-based programs that provide free objective information and assistance for understanding your Medicare insurance.

They can help you find out what benefits you qualify for and guide you in choosing which plan is best for you. You can go to this website to find contact information for the program in your state: https://www.shiptacenter.org/ . If you don't have internet access, you can call 1-877-839-2675.

Your medication was prescribed by your healthcare provider to help treat an illness or medical condition. Because medications work best when taken exactly as prescribed, missed doses could result in more health complications or worsening of an illness. There are many reasons why people miss doses or stop taking their medication.

If you have concerns about taking your medications, please ask to speak with a pharmacist or nurse, and we can help you address these concerns. Always let your doctor or other healthcare provider know before you stop taking a prescribed medication.

This depends on the state of your specific disease and your medication. However, make sure you are doing your best to follow a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. It also helps to subtract added sugar, salt and fat from your diet.

If you experience a lack of appetite due to medication or feel unwell, there are steps you can take. Try eating smaller meals more frequently during the day, or have nutritional supplements on hand that can replace a meal.

There are several different kinds of food that contain protein. Chicken, fish and meat can be consumed to get adequate protein, but if those aren't appealing, try eggs, nuts and seeds. Even legumes or soy protein can help you get enough daily protein. Try incorporating protein at each meal and snack for a balanced intake throughout the entire day.

All foods can fit into a healthy diet. But before cutting any food or food group from your diet, start by tracking your intake. This can help you see what foods may need to be reduced. Carbohydrates come in many forms and can provide needed vitamins, minerals and fiber. Eliminating carbohydrates completely is not necessary or recommended.

This depends on the needs of each individual. Though, roughly 64 ounces of water a day is recommended. Many individuals will need to drink more than 64 ounces, especially if they are active. Staying properly hydrated is very important, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water daily.

A prior authorization, often called a "PA," is when an insurance company requests more information before covering your medication. They may wish to see what other medications you have tried before your doctor prescribed this medication. Or, they may have specific coverage criteria for this medication.

Amber Specialty Pharmacy will reach out to your doctor's office to let them know your medication requires a prior authorization with your insurance. You may wish to call your doctor to make sure they are aware you need a prior authorization completed with your insurance so they will cover your medication. You may also want to call your insurance company at the phone number on the back of your card.

The time frame varies based on the type of insurance you have. Some plans can complete the process the same day they receive the information from your doctor. Other plans may take up to 14 days to review the request. Requests may be expedited with most insurance companies if you are almost out of your medication.
