Pharmacy Services
The Take CARE Employee Clinic and Pharmacy features a full-service pharmacy.
Note: The Take CARE Employee Clinic and Pharmacy accepts credit, debit, Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and Health Savings Account (HSA) cards. The center does not accept cash.
This is an in-network pharmacy for Children's Mercy medical plan members:
- You can fill prescriptions for yourself and your entire family, including children under the age of 18.
- You have the option to refill maintenance medications in 30- or 90-day supplies at this pharmacy only. At other in-network pharmacies and through mail order service, you only may refill your maintenance medications in 90-day supplies.
- The pharmacy carries generic and brand-name medications. However, all brand-name medications will be considered "preferred," so you won't pay the higher non-preferred drug coinsurance. You will pay the same amount or less than you would pay at your local in-network pharmacy - based on the prescription type and quantity.
New Pharmacy app Rx365 available. You can:
- View and request refills on medications.
- Chat with pharmacy staff.
- Update insurance information.
- Transfer prescriptions from other pharmacies.
