Compounded Prescriptions

About Compounded Prescriptions

How do I get a compound prescription filled?

You may drop off your compound prescription at your local Gigi Specialty Pharmacy or have your doctor call it in.

How do I pay for my prescription?

You will receive a phone call from GiGi Specialty Pharmacy requesting a credit card to complete payment for your prescription.

How long will it take for me to get my prescription?

Your health and safety is of the utmost importance to us and so is the quality of your compounded medications.
Shipping time will depend on the prescription itself and the delivery option you choose, all of which can be reviewed during the initial phone call. Most prescriptions ship via USPS First Class Mail, but if you need your prescription expedited, faster shipping options are available. Depending on which option you choose, we will ship your prescription to your local Integrative Pharmacy or to your home.

How do I know when I have a new prescription?

When we receive a new prescription from your clinician, we will call you within 24 hours. If you don’t hear from us, please feel free to contact Gigi Specialty Pharmacy to check on the status of your compound.

Can I use insurance to pay for my compounded prescription?

Gigi Specialty Pharmacy may be able to bill your insurance directly, though some insurance plans require patients to pay in advance and request reimbursement. Please check with your insurance plan or GiGi Specialty Pharmacy to determine if your plan will cover the cost of your compound prescription.

What are the shipping options for my prescription?

Pick up at your local Gigi Specialty Pharmacy – Free
USPS 1st Class Mail to your home – Patient pays postage fees (Note that not all prescriptions can be sent via USPS)

What do I do if I have an issue with my prescription?

Please contact Gigi Specialty Pharmacy directly by calling the number that appears on your prescription label.

Can I return my prescription?

Federal regulations prohibit the return of any prescriptions that have been dispensed.

How long is my prescription good for?

If your medication includes a controlled substance (e.g. testosterone), your prescription is good for 6 months from the date the doctor authorizes it. All other prescriptions are good for up to one year, if refills are available.

The beyond-use date (expiration) of your compounded medication will vary depending on what is prescribed.

What do I do if I am out of refills?

If you are out of refills, please call the Gigi Specialty Pharmacy phone number that appears on your prescription label and we will fax your prescriber a refill authorization request. We give the clinician up to 72 hours to respond before we re-fax. If we do not hear from them by that point, we will contact both you and the clinician’s office.
