Online refill eligibility

What Medications Can Be Refilled Online?

Which medications a $45 online bridge refill can cover, the eighteen with their own guides, the rules that decide eligibility, and the list that is never refilled.

Short answer: Stable, non-controlled maintenance medications, one time, for up to 90 days: the dose unchanged for at least 3 months, the medication started at least 6 months ago, and any labs it needs from the last 12 months. Bidwell Health publishes guides for eighteen of them: lisinopril, losartan, amlodipine, metoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide for blood pressure; atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin for cholesterol; levothyroxine; metformin; albuterol and montelukast; omeprazole and pantoprazole; sertraline, escitalopram, fluoxetine and bupropion. Medications not on that list can still be reviewed if they meet the same rules. Controlled substances are never refilled.

Examples that may be reviewed

The eighteen guides cover the medications asked about most, grouped on the online refill medication list: blood pressure (lisinopril, losartan, amlodipine, metoprolol, hydrochlorothiazide), cholesterol (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin), thyroid and diabetes (levothyroxine, metformin), asthma, allergy and reflux (albuterol, montelukast, omeprazole, pantoprazole), and stable antidepressants (sertraline, escitalopram, fluoxetine, bupropion). Oral contraceptives, SGLT2 inhibitors and non-sedating allergy medications are also commonly bridged through the same visit. A prescription is never guaranteed; a licensed clinician reviews the medication, dose history, safety answers and a photo of the current bottle before deciding.

Medications not refilled

Never: opioids including tramadol and buprenorphine, benzodiazepines, stimulants including modafinil, sleep medications such as zolpidem, gabapentin and pregabalin, carisoprodol, butalbital combinations, ketamine and esketamine, and testosterone. The intake checks the medication name against this list before payment. Also declined: a dose changed in the last 3 months, a medication started in the last 6 months, required labs older than 12 months, a new diagnosis, or unstable symptoms. A declined visit is refunded. Erectile dysfunction medication is a separate $45 ED visit, not a refill.
