FAQ

 

What does Consults4Less.com do?

Consults4Less.com arranges for you to receive professional medical services giving you privacy and convenience. These services include a review of your medical questionnaire, your medical records and a medical consultation to determine which, if any, medications may be suitable and proper for you.

A prescription for such medications may then be issued and forwarded to a U.S. licensed pharmacy for fulfillment and delivery to you.

OR

A handwritten prescription with up to 2 refills will be sent overnight to you for you to fill at the pharmacy of your choice.

What is the cost for these services?

The charge for the review of your medical records and the consultation is $130. You also pay for the medications and the delivery charges according to the price lists.

If you choose Direct Scripts, there are processing fees that are also charged. The average cost including your consult, 1 medication and shipping is $250.00, though that may be less or more depending upon your consult fee discount, medication, shipping and payment method. Our former pharmacy customers have been saving over $200.00 for the three month period.

Why are Medical Records required?

These records assist the medical professionals in evaluating your condition, and along with the consultation, enable them to assist in helping you. Also they substantiate your medical condition.

This medical process is not diagnostic and is not designed to evaluate the condition of your health from the statement of your symptoms; that’s what your regular doctors are for.

We do not accept the following as adequate medical documentation:

1. Prescription pad notes
2. Note from the physician stating that you are under his/her care
3. Superbill (the sheet you are given after your office visit)
4. Discharge instruction sheets from the ER
5. ONLY CT/MRI/x-ray reports or lab results but you may include these with your other records
6. Physician/Physical exam form printed from other Web sites
7. Prescription history from other pharmacies

How will I find out how I can be helped?

During your telephone consultation you may discuss your situation with the medical professional and have your questions answered, including the appropriateness of various drugs.

At the end of your consultation you can find out which drugs are being prescribed for your use.

How do I begin the medical process?

Simply click on NEW MEMBER” for full instructions.

You will be required to complete the registration, fill out the medical questionnaire provided, submit your medical records via fax (Fax 607-697-0890) as instructed including a government issued photo ID showing your birth date, review the TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the PRIVACY STATEMENT and acknowledge your review and acceptance. At that time the consultation can be scheduled.

What is the timing?

Your consultation can usually be scheduled within one day after your documentation has been received (sometimes on the same day).

The prescriptions can usually be fulfilled and deposited for next day delivery by the pharmacy if your prescription is received early enough.

A prescription is good for up to six months.

Consultations are not scheduled on Sundays or holidays, and deliveries are not made on Sundays (Saturday delivery is available to many areas for an additional charge).

If you opt for the Direct Script, it will be sent overnight as soon as we receive from the physician. We send out the same day and will send a tracking number that day. No Saturday delivery is offered with this service, and the only shipping option is FedEX overnight for $26.00.

How can I track my order?

Upon deposit by the pharmacy of your medications with the delivery carrier you will be e-mailed your tracking number.

For your information, any medications accepted upon delivery cannot be returned.

What if I want a prescription instead of having my meds shipped to me?

We are now offering a direct script to our customers; it has been well received and proven to save time and money. You will receive, via FedEx (one fee only, $26.00 for Overnight), a handwritten prescription with 2 refills that you can fill at the pharmacy of your choice. It also has an 800 number that your pharmacy can call to speak with the physician’s office if they need to verify any information (9:00 to 4:30 EST). If you have any insurance or medical discount cards, they can also be used to lower your cost even more. You can not fill this script in MI or certain areas of VA. Please call for more information. There is a processing fee that is charged based on the count of your medication.

How long is my prescription good for?

Upon your consultation, the team of Dr’s & PA’s will write your initial prescription for up to 2 refills. A refill may not be requested until 25 days after the previous medications have been received. After the initial prescription and two refills have been received your medical history must be updated including a new consultation.

Prescriptions are forwarded to a specific pharmacy and can not be transferred. Consults4Less.com is not a pharmacy.

With a Direct Script, you may transfer to another pharmacy based on your state laws and your pharmacy of choice policy.
