PROGRAM DETAILS

The pharmacy fills prescriptions for eligible patients seen at GHCCM’s Medical Clinic, Kintegra Family Medicine, CVMC Claremont, Catawba Valley Health, Cognitive Connections, Catawba Valley Medical Group practices and many others. In addition, patients seen in the emergency departments, urgent cares, or other primary care or specialty practices can have prescriptions filled at the GHCCM pharmacy if they are eligible. The Pharmacy has 2 lists of medications for qualifying CCM patients. Tier 1 medications are donated and are dispensed at zero cost to the patient. Tier 2 medications require patients to pay a $4.00 or higher administrative fee. Differences in these administrative fees may change due to fluctuation in acquisition cost.

ELIGIBILITY

  • Individuals must be a current patient of Kintegra Family Medicine in Hickory or Catawba Valley Family Medicine in Claremont or an associate thereof, have a current GHCCM Healthcare Card, or be a current employee or household family member of GHCCM.
  • GHCCM Healthcare Card eligibility requirements: See our Client Services department or call (828) 327-0979 EXT 221

 PRESCRIPTIONS

  • PATIENTS MUST PLACE AN ORDER BEFORE the pharmacy will fill any NEW OR REFILL medications.
  • Reorder (most) prescriptions when you are down to about 7 days (a week’s worth) of medication. Due to high volume, please allow up to 2 full business days.
  • If your GHCCM Healthcare card is expired or you do not have one, we cannot start processing your order until you obtain or renew your card and you let us know.
  • Please pick up prescriptions within 15 days of placing your order. Due to limited medication inventory, any orders not picked up after 15 days will be returned to stock and a new order must be placed by the patient.
