Medication Prescriptions and Refills

As we age and our bodies evolve, we tend to have more medical needs. 89% of Americans over age 65 take at least one prescription drug—and more than half take at least four prescription drugs (1). These statistics mean that prescriptions are often an inevitability in aging. 

Getting and managing all those prescriptions can be such a pain. First, you have to see a doctor for a prescription (which usually means waiting weeks or months for an appointment). Once you get that prescription, you have to get to the pharmacy, where you’ll wait in a long line...and then wait some more to get the medicine you need. And when you need a refill, you’ll have to do it all over again. Think of all the hours you’ve spent driving to and from pharmacies, standing in interminable lines, and fixing insurance snafus on long phone calls. That’s a lot of waiting! 

If you’re sick of waiting, we have your back. At DocRoad, we don’t believe in waiting when it comes to healthcare. We take all the hassle out of prescriptions and refills: No more sitting in traffic, no more looking for parking, no more waiting in line.

When you become a patient with DocRoad, you’re signing up for collaborative healthcare tailored specifically for the unique needs of seniors with chronic conditions. We’ll help you transfer your current prescriptions, and prescribe new drugs as needed. And we’ll do it all over video calls from your pocketable clinic called PocketDR with you, from the comfort of your own home. 

But healthcare from home must be too good to be true, right? Maybe you’re thinking that there’s gotta be a catch. We get it: traditionally, the U.S. healthcare system is daunting, complicated, and confusing. So we’re changing all that. With DocRoad, you really can get excellent care without leaving your house. Not only do we offer prescriptions and refills, but we can even arrange for your meds to be delivered right to your door or local pharmacy. You’ll also have monthly phone appointments with your doctor, remote health monitoring to catch hiccups before they escalate, and be able to schedule same-day appointments if urgent matters come up. 

We think healthcare should be less stressful. Prescriptions are part of life for many of us, and there’s no good reason you have to waste time waiting in line. If you’re looking for stress-free, hassle-free, revolutionary healthcare and prescription management, we’d love to speak to you. Call DocRoad today and get started on a path to better health, better care, and more time doing what you love.
