How is this different from talking to my doctor?

While your doctor focuses on diagnosing and treating your condition, Greg focuses on the mechanics of the medicine. Doctors often have only a few minutes to discuss a new prescription; Greg takes 30 minutes to deep-dive into how that drug interacts with your other medications, your vitamins, and even your diet. He provides the "Owner’s Manual" for your medications that most doctors don't have the time to explain.

 

Will you change my prescriptions or give me new ones?

No. As a Clinical Pharmacist, Greg provides expert recommendations and advocacy. He does not prescribe medication. Instead, he provides you with a professional roadmap or a clinical letter that you can take to your doctor. This ensures your physician has the expert pharmaceutical data they need to make the best decision for your care.

 

Do you accept health insurance for these consultations?

Currently, we do not accept insurance. We operate as an independent advocacy firm to ensure that Greg’s advice is purely focused on your health and cost savings, not on what an insurance company’s "preferred list" dictates. However, many clients find that the cost-saving strategies Greg uncovers (finding lower-cost alternatives or fixing billing errors) more than pay for the cost of the session.

 

What do I need to prepare for my 30-minute session?

To get the most value, we recommend having a complete list of your current medications (including dosages), any vitamins or herbal supplements you take, and a recent copy of your insurance formulary if you are looking to save money. This allows Greg to start the "deep-dive" immediately.

 

Can you really help me save money on my prescriptions?

Yes. Between "Tier" shifts in insurance, manufacturer coupons, and identifying redundant medications that you may no longer need, Greg specializes in lowering the "Total Cost of Care." He understands the "back-end" of pharmacy billing that most patients never see.

 

How does the "Doctor Follow-Up" add-on work?

Doctors are busy and often hesitant to take suggestions from patients. When you select the Doctor Follow-Up, Greg acts as your clinical representative. He can provide a professional letter or a direct clinical consultation with your provider’s office to explain the "why" behind his recommendations, using the clinical language that doctors trust.
