What is MCPHS Pharmacy Outreach Program
The MCPHS Pharmacy Outreach Program is a community service program of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Our goal is to foster medication compliance and adherence through education, evaluation and outreach. By calling a toll-free help line, visiting our walk-in center at 25 Foster Street, Worcester, MA, or accessing our web site (www.massmedline.com), patients will receive information about their medications, prescription drug coverage, including the Medicare Drug benefit, and assistance with accessing affordable prescription drug programs.
MCPHS Pharmacy Outreach Program’s staff of professional case managers and licensed pharmacists can:
- Educate and counsel patients, answering medication related questions
- Inform and evaluate patients about state and federal programs that provide free, low cost or discounted medications, including the Medicare Drug Benefit, and patient assistance programs sponsored by pharmaceutical companies and private foundations
- Assist patients through the enrollment process for prescription assistance programs and insurances
- Follow up and monitor patients, providing a comprehensive medication therapy management evaluation
- Coordinate and participate in statewide outreach events to increase awareness of our programs and services
- Provide presentations on general health, disease related topics and up to date information on health and prescription coverage, assistance programs and legislation
MCPHS Pharmacy Outreach Program also utilizes the resources of the drug information center of the College to provide drug information to the residents of the Commonwealth.
