⚡ Completed refill requests are reviewed during business hours. Review times vary. Some requests may require additional information, video evaluation, records, testing, or in-person follow-up and may take longer. Prescriptions are issued only when medically appropriate and are not guaranteed.
If your regular maintenance medication runs out while your usual prescriber is unavailable, Americare can evaluate whether a temporary bridge refill is medically appropriate for eligible adults in Texas.
$39 self-pay applies to patients not using insurance for the visit. Prescriptions are never guaranteed.
First check your usual options
Contact your regular prescriber and ask your pharmacy whether authorized refills remain. If that is not possible or would cause an unsafe interruption, a bridge-refill evaluation may help.
What Americare does
A clinician licensed or authorized for your state reviews your established medication, current condition, relevant history, records, labs, and safety information when needed. If a bridge refill is medically appropriate, the prescription is sent to your pharmacy of choice.
A bridge refill is still a medical encounter
The $39 fee pays for the clinical evaluation, not a prescription. Prescribing is never guaranteed. Some situations require updated testing, records, video, or in-person evaluation.
Out of medication today?
MedRefillCare is not an emergency service, but you can start a refill review online right away, any day. For an established, non-controlled medication, a clinician reviews your request and, if appropriate, sends a prescription to your pharmacy.
While you wait, ask your pharmacist: in some situations a Texas pharmacist can provide a short emergency supply of a non-controlled medication.
Chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, or a severe reaction: call 911.
