Workers' compensation
What is a workers' compensation pharmacy?
A workers' compensation pharmacy fills prescriptions for employees injured on the job and bills the employer's workers' comp insurance carrier instead of the patient. MedStork Rx is a Texas workers’ comp pharmacy that verifies the claim and coordinates with the adjuster and treating doctor.
Does MedStork Rx accept Texas workers' comp claims?
Yes. We fill prescriptions for injured employees with Texas workers' compensation claims regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (TDI-DWC). We work with adjusters, case managers and treating doctors to get medications approved and delivered.
Do I have to pay for my workers' comp prescriptions in Texas?
Generally, no. In Texas, pharmacies bill the workers' comp insurance carrier, and state rules prohibit billing the injured employee for covered workers' comp pharmacy services, with limited exceptions under the Texas Labor Code. We verify your claim before delivery and tell you right away if there's a coverage issue. TDI-DWC pharmacy rules.
Can I choose my own pharmacy for a workers' comp claim?
Yes. According to the Texas Department of Insurance, injured employees may fill prescriptions at the pharmacy of their choice if that pharmacy accepts workers' compensation. Carriers and networks can't require you to use a specific pharmacy.
What information do I need to fill a workers' comp prescription?
Have your claim number, insurance carrier, adjuster's name, date of injury, employer and treating doctor's contact information ready. If you're missing something, call (214) 484-6641 and we'll help you find it.
What if my workers' comp medication needs preauthorization?
Texas uses a closed formulary for injuries on or after September 1, 2011. Drugs with an "N" status in the Official Disability Guidelines, and most compounded drugs, need preauthorization from the carrier. If yours does, we work with your doctor and the carrier so your treatment isn't held up longer than necessary.
How long do I have to report a work injury in Texas?
Report a work injury to your employer within 30 days. You have one year from the date of injury to file a claim (Form DWC-041) with TDI-DWC. Missing these deadlines can put your benefits at risk.
Is a workman's comp pharmacy the same as a workers' comp pharmacy?
Yes. Workman's comp, work comp and workers' comp all mean workers' compensation. An injured workers pharmacy, a pharmacy for injured workers and a workers' comp pharmacy are the same kind of pharmacy.
Car accidents & personal injury
Can MedStork Rx fill my prescriptions after a car accident?
Yes. We fill prescriptions for patients injured in car accidents, truck and 18-wheeler wrecks, motorcycle crashes, rideshare and pedestrian accidents, and other personal injuries. Your accident-injury doctor can e-prescribe or fax to us. Learn about our car accident pharmacy.
How are car accident prescriptions paid for in Texas?
It depends on your situation and your coverage. Texas auto policies include Personal Injury Protection (PIP) unless it was rejected in writing, and some drivers also carry MedPay. Both can pay medical expenses from a crash up to the policy limit. Call (214) 484-6641 and we'll go over your options before we fill anything.
Should I see a doctor after a car accident if I feel fine?
Yes. Adrenaline can hide pain, and injuries like whiplash, concussions and back injuries can show up hours or days after a crash. Seeing a doctor promptly protects your health and creates a medical record of your injuries.
What medications are commonly prescribed after a car accident?
Depending on your injuries, doctors often prescribe anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, topical pain relievers, nerve pain medications, antibiotics for cuts or road rash, and post-surgical medications. Your doctor decides what's right for you, and we dispense only what's prescribed.
What should I do after a car wreck in Texas?
Get to safety, call 911 if anyone is hurt, move a drivable car out of traffic, exchange names, addresses, registration and insurance information, take photos, get the police report number, see a doctor and notify your insurance company.
