Get your medications at little to no cost – directly from your provider.
From diagnosis to treatment plan, in one convenient visit.
Have you ever left a healthcare appointment with a prescription and never went to fill it? This may be due to the inconvenience of going to a pharmacy or the concern over how much it might cost. Whatever your reasoning, this is a common issue that can interfere with your care. That’s why provider dispensing is a great solution. You can now get your medications at little to no cost, directly from your Premise Health provider at your employer-sponsored wellness center. Your provider may prescribe a medication during your visit as part of your treatment plan, and you can leave with it in hand.
You can even get up to a 90-day supply to reduce the number of times you need a refill. When you’re about to run out, simply schedule a follow-up visit with your provider. They’ll monitor your progress and offer ongoing support.
Skip the extra trip to the pharmacy. Schedule an appointment at your local wellness center to get started.
Here’s how it works.
You can get your medications for one-time prescriptions or ongoing needs.
These are some examples of how provider dispensing could work for you:
Acute or short-term health issues
You’re not feeling well, so you schedule a sick visit at your wellness center. Your provider determines that you have an infection and prescribes an antibiotic. They give you your medication during your visit. This eliminates the trip to the pharmacy, so you can start your treatment plan right away.
Chronic or long-term health issues
You have high blood pressure, and it requires an ongoing prescription. You schedule an appointment with your provider at your wellness center. They give you a 90-day supply of your medication. You then schedule follow-up visits for refills. Through regular check-ins with your provider, you receive your medication and continued support to manage your health.
More reasons to get your medications directly from your provider:
Cost savings
You can get your medications at little to no cost. This includes prescriptions and over-the-counter options.
Convenience
Get up to a 90-day supply of your medications during your wellness center visit. There’s no need to make a separate trip to the pharmacy. If you need a refill, you can get a same-day or next-day appointment.
Timesaving
You can start your treatment plan right away. You don’t have to go elsewhere or wait for your prescription.
Personalized care
You’ll get one-on-one support from your trusted provider. They’ll help monitor your progress and assess your treatment plan during follow-up visits.
We have a script for that.
Your wellness center carries close to 200 medications to cover your needs. From allergies to diabetes, they’re all available at little to no cost, even the over-the-counter options.
Here are some of the most common medications available:
Availability may vary. Check with your local wellness center to see what medications they carry through provider dispensing. NOTE: We do not have any controlled substances on site.

FAQs
Provider dispensing is an offering through your employer-sponsored wellness center that’s operated by Premise Health. It allows your provider to prescribe and give you your medication at little to no cost during your visit. This eliminates the need to go to a pharmacy after your appointment.
With provider dispensing, you get your medications directly from your provider during the same visit in which they prescribe them. This is unlike a pharmacy, where pharmacists are giving you your prescriptions that were prescribed by your provider. You can also get your medications at little to no cost, which is not often the case at a pharmacy.
Yes. You need to visit with your provider in-person at your wellness center. Provider dispensing is not available through virtual care.
One of the best parts about getting your prescriptions directly from your provider is for the extra support. They can monitor your progress and determine if the medication is working. If it’s not, they’re able to reassess and change your treatment plan as needed. This results in better care that can improve your health. We recommend you schedule your refill appointment 14 days before you run out of your medication.
Prescriptions filled during a visit with your provider are not set for auto-refill. Instead, you’ll need to schedule an appointment when you have 14 days’ worth of your medication left to make sure you don’t run out.
Your wellness center will carry both prescriptions and over-the-counter medications at little to no cost. Also, you will receive added support from your provider. They can help you manage your medications and overall health. The cost savings and one-on-one care make the switch worth it!
Your Premise Health provider cannot take your existing prescriptions from another provider and simply give you those medications. Instead, they’ll need to discuss your needs with you and come up with a treatment plan from there. If your provider thinks it’s appropriate, they will write the prescription for the medication and fill it if it’s available at the wellness center.
Premise Health is a provider of in-person and virtual health for the world’s leading organizations. In other words, we partner with companies to bring their employees healthcare services and operate their wellness centers.
A wellness center is where you receive care as a member. We use this term rather than “doctor’s office” because we offer so much more than the usual office environment. The centers not only typically offer more services than the average doctor’s office, but are also designed with you in mind. We want you to feel comfortable, calm and welcomed.
Members are what we call our patients who are eligible to use a wellness center operated by Premise Health. It’s not a membership that you have to pay for or apply to be a part of. You’re simply considered a member once your employer has partnered with us to provide your health and wellness services.
If your employer has partnered with Premise Health to offer you access to health and wellness benefits, you’re likely eligible. Your dependents and spouses may be too. Check with your employer to see if you and/or your dependents are eligible and find out more.
