If you have questions about an upcoming appointment, please call your doctor’s office. If you think you have COVID-19 or the flu, please call your doctor and tell your HSCSN Care Manager before visiting a healthcare facility.

Can I still get my medicine at the pharmacy?
Yes. You may also request an extra refill (30-day supply) of your medications from a retail pharmacy. This means you can “stock-up” to make sure you do not run out of your medication during the COVID-19 situation. Your prescription must be valid to use this optional benefit.
