Year-End Prescription Tune-Up: A Checklist for the New Year
· 1 min read
A once-a-year prescription review: update your medication list, check refills and renewals, compare what you paid, and choose the right plan for your household.
Short answer: Once a year, take an hour to update your medication list, check refills and renewal dates, review what you paid for prescriptions, and decide whether your current way of paying still fits. The end of the year is a natural time to do it.
1. Update your medication list
Go through every bottle. Add new medicines, remove ones you stopped, and fix any changed strengths. See how to keep a one-page medication list.
2. Check refills and renewals
Note refills left and end dates. Start renewals for anything running low, especially before holidays when offices may be closed.
3. Review what you paid
Pull your pharmacy receipts or account history. For each ongoing medicine, write down what you paid per fill. See how to read a pharmacy receipt.
4. Check each medicine for the coming year
Look up each one on The Drug Club's Medications page. Eligible medications are $0 with membership.
5. Choose the right plan
- One person: a Single plan.
- Two or more people in one household: a Family plan. See Family plan math.
Current prices are on the pricing page.
6. Simplify pickups
Ask your pharmacy about lining up refills on one pickup day.
7. Bring your list to your next appointment
Ask your prescriber whether everything on your list is still right for you.
