Can I request a contactless on-demand prescription delivery?
No, at this time, DrHouse’s on-demand prescription delivery requires in-person delivery with a signature from the patient. For safety and regulatory reasons, prescriptions must be handed directly to you, and you will need to provide a photo ID at the time of delivery. Contactless delivery options are not available.
Why Is Contactless Delivery Not Available?
- Patient Verification Requirements: To ensure that medications are delivered securely and to the correct person, couriers are required to collect your signature and check your photo ID at the time of delivery.
- Regulatory Compliance: Healthcare regulations mandate that prescription medications be delivered directly to the patient they were prescribed for, which prevents the use of contactless drop-off methods.
- Safety and Security: In-person delivery ensures the medication is not lost, tampered with, or received by the wrong individual.
What Happens If I’m Unable to Receive the Delivery in Person?
- If you are unavailable to receive the delivery, the courier will attempt to contact you using the information provided in the DrHouse app.
- If the courier is unable to deliver the medication, it will be returned and destroyed for safety reasons.
- Refunds are not available for missed deliveries.
How to Ensure a Smooth Delivery:
- Be available at your delivery address during the 1-hour delivery window after your virtual visit.
- Keep your phone nearby in case the courier needs to contact you.
- Ensure your delivery address and instructions are accurate when placing your order in the DrHouse app.
- Keep your photo ID ready for verification by the courier.
