On Call

The diagnosis is cancer. Treatments vary. In between are ethical questions, dedicated research and key ancillary issues. To help you coordinate all aspects of care, 88th Street Pharmacy completes the circle with education, benefits coordination and an array of pharmaceutical support services, personalized for each patient.

Because every patient matters, the staff at 88th Street Pharmacy works closely with healthcare providers from start to finish to ensure timely deliveries and smooth, efficient coordination of key services.

Delivery Services
Our fast and efficient delivery network utilizing our own drivers enables next-day delivery to clients or medical offices in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and The Bronx. In addition, a same day delivery system is available for patients in the hospital or living at home. For those living on Staten Island or outside of New York City, we offer commercial delivery services.

Patient Support Services
Prescribers and cancer patients need extra support, so we make monthly phone calls to clients to arrange the next month’s prescription deliveries. We also stay in direct contact with prescribing clinicians should any questions arise concerning a patient’s medication status. We’ll even remind both doctor and patient when the last refill has been delivered and new prescriptions will be required for the next month.

Our compounding pharmacists prepare special doses for the specific needs of patients and provide counseling on self-medication if needed.

Educational Services
You know your support needs to be special. That’s why we specialize in on-site medication counseling services and nurse educator assistance.

Supplies
All supplies for self-injection are available through our pharmacies. For your convenience, start-up kits are available for most products and our pharmacies stock a full line of medications. We also provide Styrofoam coolers and coolant for product transport. Durable medical equipment, feeding supplies and all food supplements can be provided.

Reimbursement Issues
We coordinate insurance benefits and accept Medicare Part D and Part B, Medicaid and other insurance coverage. We closely monitor and manage third-party coverage and coordination of benefits.
