FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’re open 24/7/365, nationally accredited, and are experts in this type of care. This facility contracted with Forum to provide services specific to the needs of its setting.

This is serious stuff. Our dispensing and consulting staff work closely with facility nurses to ensure meds are delivered and utilized
to ensure the best health outcomes, while minimizing any costs to you. We also supply extensive administrative, record-keeping, and quality-control services to ensure that residents receive the best possible care.

You’re not required to use Forum, but any pharmacy you choose must supply medications and clinical consulting services, including IVs and infusion devices, to comply with nursing facility regulations.

Rarely, insurance requires use of a retail or mail-order pharmacy. If the same services can’t be provided, you may be charged a fee to offset these costs.

We are healthcare professionals and specialists in this field. We offer very competitive pricing, but we can’t lure customers with ultra-low-cost meds and then make up the difference on milk or makeup. We provide sophisticated services that retail and mail-order pharmacies can’t.

Unlike other types of pharmacies, we can accept returns and will credit what we can. Keep in mind, though, that some packaging isn’t eligible—and most insurance plans don’t allow credits for partially used prescriptions.
