Prescription Mail Delivery Program
Rx Partnership is committed to ensuring that the most vulnerable Virginians (and the clinics that serve them!) have access to affordable medications to treat chronic conditions.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rx Partnership piloted a new program that allows clinics to mail prescriptions directly to patients' homes instead of patients having to pick-up their medications from the clinic. Due to its success and positive outcomes, we have kept the program going.
Rx Partnership is able to offer this program at no cost to either the clinic or the patient through the generosity of foundation supporters.
Limits Exposure
Reduces the risk of exposure for both patients and clinic staff and volunteers while ensuring that vital medication is received in a timely manner by patients with chronic conditions.
Addresses Increasing Demand
RxP's programs support the increased medication demand at 31 clinic partners (88 localities) throughout the state.
Maintains Medication Adherence in a Crisis
Providing a 90-day supply of medication reduces costs and increases medication adherence. Consistent access to medication avoids the worsening of chronic health conditions which can lead to costly emergency department visits, preventing undue strain on the health system.
"I had a patient who needed a refill for one of his meds but was extremely sick and said, 'I don’t know how I’m going to get there.'
I was able to respond with, 'Well, I can actually mail them to you!' He was so relieved and appreciative to not have to leave the house and receive the meds he needed."

"The mail delivery program has removed a large barrier for many of our patients accessing their medications, especially those with preexisting health conditions and lack of transportation."
