One Stop Shop

Pharmacy technicians are quickly becoming the "first stop” when it comes to direct patient care. Communicating with prescribing physicians and patients used to be strictly within the purview of the pharmacist. Today’s pharmacy technicians are increasingly working with prescribing physicians and their staff to resolve discrepancies, reconcile medication histories, and clarify prescriptions on the pharmacist’s behalf in order to help patients understand their medications and dosage.

Pharmacy technicians are quickly becoming the pharmacy’s experts on insurance. As insurance plans become more complicated, technicians are frequently dealing with impatient, upset customers at the drive-thru window or pharmacy counter. Thus, it is necessary for most technicians to make frequent calls to insurance companies or counsel patients on their options when they are faced with a large prescription bill. Most technicians are even familiar with prescription assistance plans available through the government or drug companies.

With over 34 years of pharmaceutical experience we are able to provide our patients with the best level of care, and services designed to make their prescription refills simple and economical. Our Local Pharmacy technicians are vital to you receiving the best service possible. They are highly trained and have the experience to explain medications, side effects, and dosages; answer your questions; and identify medication adherence issues.

Third-Party Insurance

In some cases, the third-party insurance companies may be considered "Closed Networks", allowing only certain suppliers to provide services for patients, prohibiting The Apothecary Shoppe Pharmacy from providing services to you. If this is the case, The Apothecary Shoppe Pharmacy will contact your prescribing physicians’ office in no less than 5 days. The charges for service and care are available upon request and will depend on the service billed and the extent of the coverage offered by your insurance company and any yearly deductibles that may apply.
