Interviewing a Pharmacist
A prescription is written for you by your doctor by directly handing it to you in handwritten form or sends it electronically to your pharmacy. Such a pharmacy could be a mail order pharmacy, a retail one, or even a pharmacy at the doctor's office.

Your insurer will decide one of the following to facilitate your access to the prescribed medicine.

You access the prescribed medicine after executing a higher co pay or you can make part of the total payments; also referred to as co-insurance.

In a more general sense, pharmacists represent a valuable source of medical information for patients that could help prevent or identify problems before they manifest themselves in presentations that, in the most serious cases, result in unnecessary emergencies and hospitalizations.
