How do I place my first order?
Ordering your prescriptions through Reliance Rx is fast - and easy.
How long does it take to get my medications?
With priority overnight service, Reliance Rx can deliver your medicine in 24 to 48 hours after receiving your prescription. The actual ship date depends on the prior authorization process and requirements of your plan and if we need to contact your doctor about the prescription.
Where will my medications and supplies be delivered?
Reliance Rx will deliver your medicine - for free - right to your home, your doctor's office, or location you choose. For local deliveries, same day delivery is also available through our courier service. You’ll also receive any supplies you need to administer your self-injectable medication at no additional cost to you, which includes needles, syringes, adhesive bandages, alcohol swabs and Sharps containers.
How are my medications preserved during delivery?
Refrigerated items are packed in plastic bags to protect them from condensation. The product is labeled "refrigerated" and packed in one of the two validated containers: a 1½" thick wall Styrofoam cooler, or an insulated pouch. Gel ice cold packs are used to ensure that the product temperature meets manufacturer requirements at delivery. All refrigerated products are packed in special temperature-controlled coolers rated for a minimum of 48 hours at or below the required temperature. In the summer, or when destinations are typically warm, extra cold packs are used to ensure your medications stay at the right temperature. During extreme cold temperatures, room temperature medications are also packaged inside coolers.
How do I know my medications will arrive on time after they have shipped?
We have online tracking tools available to you, your physician and other caregivers that allow us to track each package through its delivery. We will continue to track the package until you receive it to ensure on-time delivery. If a delivery is at risk, we are notified at once, at which time a patient support representative then sets up a recovery plan to ensure the quickest possible delivery.
How do I order a refill?
A week before your next refill, Reliance Rx staff will call you to schedule a delivery. Our representative will make sure that you are still taking the medication, confirm the dosage and discuss your progress. You may also call us at (716) 929-1000 or 1-800-809-4763 to order a refill with your patient support representative or order online through our web portal.
Which prescriptions require prior authorization?
Your insurance determines what medications require prior authorization. The following link provides a list of prescriptions (not all-inclusive) that may require use of prior authorization forms.
Prescriptions Requiring Prior Authorization
What is the standard quantity I can get?
Our standard is to fill prescriptions for no more than a 30-day supply. A smaller supply allows us to check your progress more often. If your medication or the dose of your medication changes between refills, a smaller supply can help prevent wasted medication and may save money. We can only dispense what your benefits plan allows. Your out-of-pocket costs will depend on your benefits plan.
How important is it to take all of my medication?
You must follow your doctor's instructions when taking medication. The amount you are prescribed to take (e.g., 1 ml once a day) and the length of time you must take it (e.g., every day for 3 months) are the best measures to be sure your treatment goes well. We understand that some medications may cause side effects and/or are hard to take - we are here to help you cope with these issues. It's also always helpful to speak with your doctor about managing side effects.
