How do i get my meds refilled, if i lost them all during the hurricane evacuation?

Red Cross or FEMA: If the town is flooded so no one can get in or out, your only option will be to let whoever the first responders are know that you are out of your medications. When first responders are able to get in or evacuate you out, they may have access to some method of getting medications. Other than stocking up ahead of time if you knew a storm is imminent, there are not many other options. Plan ahead!

Dont know UR meds: There can be difficulty getting meds re-filled. One trick is to have your doctor change the dose (I may lose my license for that statement). If U R taking controlled substances it can be very difficult. But you may need your doctors help and persuasion.

RX Update: Good day; Contact the doctors who prescribed the medications; their offices will issue new RXs to replace existing medications.

Emergency Rx: guarantees you access to a refill during a disaster if your county during hurricane evacuation.

Call your Doctor: The best place to start for med refills is to call your doctor. Even in the setting of disaster, it should be pretty easy to get your medications ready for you.

Pharmacy, physician : Contact your pharmacy and your physician and see how they can expedite obtaining the medicines you you lost during the hurricane

Call doc: Most doctor offices will be very understanding of this situation and will gladly refill your scripts

Med refill : You can either call your local doc to get those re-prescribed to you or you can use Health Tap Prime service to do that. Keep in mind controlled substances can't be prescribed in telemedicine, though.

A local Walk In: Unit such as are now located in Pharmacy Chains (eg CVS, Walgreen) are staffed with ANP's (Adult Nurse Practitioners) who can authorize a temporary supply. Hope this is helpful! BTW if you can locate your Doctor or his/her office they may be able to phone your Prescriptions in.

Online consultation: Call your doctor if possible. If not, consult an online physician here at Health Tap. We can refill or prescribe medication except for controlled substances and psychiatric meds.

Records: You should always carry a list of your medications and conditions along with the doses and the doctor who prescribed them. At a disaster center another doctor can look at the list and easily provide what you need as they become available. Always carry a days worth of spare meds. You may not be able to get what you want, but you should be able to get what you need at a disaster medical site.

Hurricane/lost Meds: Your health is Precious! I understand your concern If you feel urgent need for medication, while in Shelter, inform Public Health Nurse about your Physician and Medications; and local Official who will make arrangement. When local officials have given clearance, call your Physician for follow up of your condition, effect of Hurricane on your health, and medications.

Call your insurance: Explain that you lost your meds during the hurricane. Most insurance companies will refill meds in such an emergency.
