Frequently Asked Questions
Which prescriptions for migraine medications may I renew through Optum Clinic?
Prescriptions for drugs that address acute migraine attacks, prevent migraine attacks, and alleviate migraine-related nausea may be renewed by your clinician.
• Triptans, such as sumatriptan (Imitrex), and ergots, such as dihydroergotamine (Migranal), are medications used to treat acute migraine attacks.
• Amitriptyline (Elavil), topiramate (Trokendi, Qudexy, Topamax), and propranolol (Inderal, Hemangeol) are some examples of medications used to prevent migraine attacks.
• Prochloroperazine (Compazine), ondansetron (Zofran), or metoclopramide (Reglan) are examples of anti-nausea drugs.
Note that this information is meant merely as a general guide. In order to decide which (if any) migraine therapies are medically necessary, your clinician will go over your symptoms and medical history.
Why is a blood pressure reading necessary?
In order to ensure that your treatment is safe and to rule out other possible reasons of your migraine attacks, your blood pressure is taken. You can utilize a blood pressure result that you obtained during the previous 12 months. You can use a home blood pressure monitor or go to your primary care physician or local pharmacy to receive a new reading on your blood pressure.
Is it possible for me to have my cholesterol checked at Optum Clinic?
No, at this time, Optum Clinic does not offer cholesterol level testing (sometimes known as "lipid panels," "cholesterol panels," or "cholesterol labs").
What distinguishes a refill from a renewal?
You restock your medication from a drugstore when you run out of it. Your prescription must be renewed by a professional physician when you run out of refills. Via Optum Clinic, you can ask for a remote prescription renewal. Any new prescriptions will be sent by your clinician to any U.S. pharmacy of your choosing. When you pick up or have the medication delivered, you pay for it.
What is Optum Health Clinic's prescription renewal policy?
Prescription renewals are usually written by clinicians for a 30-day supply of medication. A prescription's medical appropriateness will be determined by your doctor based on a number of variables. They might inquire as to how long it has been since you've, for instance:
• Completed your prescription as prescribed
• Visited your PCP
• Had the necessary lab work performed
• Had your most recent prescription renewal processed by Optum Health Clinic
One or two prescription renewals may be permitted in a calendar year.
Can I pay for a visit or prescription drugs with my health insurance?
At this time, Optum Clinic Clinic does not accept health insurance for visits. You can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you. If you typically pay for your prescription drugs with insurance, you can do the same with those that are prescribed by Optum Clinic. The cost of medication isn’t included in the cost of your visit.
How does Optum Clinic protect my health information?
Optum Clinic protects your health information by strictly following the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
