General Questions
Can I try PersonalRX without a long-term commitment?
Yes. There is no long-term commitment. If at any time you decide that PersonalRX is not the optimal pharmacy experience for you, we will work with you to transfer your prescriptions and to a pharmacy of your choosing.
What are PersonalRX dose packs and why do you dispense medications in this type of packaging?
PersonalRX Dose packs are medication packages that are clearly labeled with the patient’s name, the drug name and strength, and the time of day that the patient should take the medication (as prescribed by your doctor). We firmly believe that the PersonalRx dose packs help patients remember when to take their medications and ensure that they don’t duplicate any dosing.
“I love the packaging. It’s easy to tear off and I also love how it has the days of the week on it. Gloria P, Florida
How is PersonalRX different from other pharmacies?
We dispense medications in Personal RX dose packs (see prior Q and A). All our medications are also shipped at the same time so you no longer need to make multiple trips to the pharmacy every month and wait in line. We also assign a dedicated Personal Care Coordinator. They will call you at least once a month to check in with you and see if you have any questions or if you have any changes to your medications. You also have their phone number so you can call them at any time. Additionally, our QA specialist will call you to ensure that your order was delivered as expected. Finally, our easy to use mobile app allows you to check shipment status, enter changes to your medications, update your credit card or insurance information, send a pdf of all your medications to your doctor, and much more. There is no additional cost for these services.
Our patient testimonials best describe how our patients like our services
“The older I get – the less I want to take care of myself, so this service means a lot to me. I feel a little spoiled, but I love that PersonalRX contacts my doctor for refills. And it’s nice that you call because I only have my little dog to talk to.” Kathy, Indiana
“Who could not be happy with your service and the people there? I can’t say enough about how great Sonja is and how much she helped me get all medication changes done correctly, when we changed doctors recently”.
Valentine , Florida
“We are really happy and appreciative of Serena and your pharmacy. My wife and I are both customers and it would be difficult to get our medications if not for this service.”
Barnett, Alabama
“My technician, Serena, is fantastic and I love the entire PersonalRX staff. I had another mail order pharmacy, and all communication was received by text. I never spoke with a live person. Your customer service is second to none”.
Robert, Pennsylvania
“I really appreciate the excellent service. Everyone has been so kind each time I’ve called with questions.”
Jennifer, Florida
I get my medications delivered by my local pharmacy? Why should I switch to PersonalRX?
We provide many services besides free delivery — services that each patient is entitled to. Each patient receives all of their medications all at the same time and they are delivered when needed. Our additional services include a dedicated Personal Care Coordinator who calls you at least once a month to check in and see if you have any questions. They will also call your doctor to get a new prescription if needed. Additionally, our QA specialist will call you to ensure that your order was delivered as expected. There is no additional cost for these services.

I heard about your service through a friend and I want to enroll. What do I need to do to get started?
We make it easy to get started and we do all the work. Just call our Onboarding Team at 201-605-6627, and they will gather all of the needed information to get started with PersonalRX.
How do I transfer my prescriptions from my current pharmacy to PersonalRX?

If you have prescriptions with no remaining refills, the “Onboarding” team will contact your doctor(s) and obtain the new prescriptions.
What if I have a different day's supply of each medication when I enroll with PersonalRX? How do you “align” all of my prescriptions so I get them all at the same time?
We will issue partial fills, if needed, for any medication. We will work with you and your doctor to obtain any new prescriptions.
I take one medication when needed so I don't need a refill for a while? How do you handle these types of prescriptions?
If you have enough supply of a medication, we will not include that medication in your first order. Additionally, during the monthly call with your Personal Care Coordinator, they will ask you about your “as needed” medication and only include it in your order if you need it.

My Medications
How are patient medications packaged?
We offer a variety of packaging options for pills/tablets and you select the type of packaging that meets your needs. PersonalRX Dose Packs are the most popular; vials are also available. The Dose Packs are clearly labeled with the patient’s name, medication name and strength and the date/time of day that the medication should be taken and any special instructions. Along with the Dose Packs, other medications, such as inhalers, insulins and prepackaged medications are properly labeled and shipped along with your chosen form of pill/tablet packaging. You can discuss your specific needs with a PersonalRX representative when setting up your account.
Will your pharmacy dispense brands or generics?
Our pharmacy will dispense the generic medication unless your physician specifies “Do Not Substitute” or “Brand Only” since many insurance plans will only pay for a generic. If you do not want a generic medication, you should notify your physician in advance.
What do I do if my doctor changes one of my prescriptions? How do I get the new medication and stop the old one?
You should call your Personal Care Coordinator and they will gladly update your profile to inactivate the old prescription and add the new one. You can also make the change yourself on the mobile app.
I am out of refills on one of my medications. What should I do?
Your Personal Care Coordinator will contact your doctor to obtain a new prescription. They will also let you know when we receive the new prescription from your doctor.
Do you dispense narcotic and control medications?

Can you package dosages of half a pill?
Generally, Yes. If your prescription is specifically written that way by the physician and is in tablet form and scored.
I take several vitamins, minerals and supplements each day. Can I have them included in my order and how much will they cost?
Yes. We can add most vitamins, minerals, and supplements to your order. Please call your Personal Care Coordinator to add any vitamin, mineral, or supplement to your order. They will also let you know the cost for each item.

Yes, we dispense inhalers, insulin, and other pre-packaged medication. We include them in the same order as your pills/tablets.
I have some medications that I take as needed (PRN)? How do you package those prescriptions?
As needed medications are usually not dispensed in the dose packs with your other medications, “As needed” medications are usually dispensed in vials/bottles and included in your order with all of your other medications. It is your choice on how these medications are packaged.
I take a different dose of the same medication every other day. Can it be packaged that way?
Yes, we can package medications whose directions vary by day. It is important that your doctor provides a prescription written exactly how the medication is to be taken. Our pharmacists will label a prescription and package it according to the doctor’s instructions.
How are medication changes handled?
Your Personal Care Coordinator will work with your doctor to handle any changes in medications. If it is urgent, we will help coordinate so a pharmacy can fill your medication. After that, it will be reflected in your next PersonalRX order.
What if I need a one-time medication, like antibiotics or eye drops?
Your Personal Care Coordinator can assist you to coordinate with a pharmacy near you to fill any medication you need. Plus, we will update your prescription records and coordinate with you if ongoing care is needed.
Information for Caregivers
My daughter helps me with my medications? Can I give her access to my medications at PersonalRX? How can I share my prescription information with her?
