Medication Dispensing Device

This service is to help you remember to take your medication on time and as instructed if you live alone or are alone for a long period of time during the day. 

Here is how the service works:

  • The device automatically dispenses your medication as the prescription requires (amount and timing)
  • Once your medication is dispensed, you will need to get it within a certain period of time; if you do not, the machine will give you reminders
  • If you do not get to your medication by the last reminder, an automatic phone call will be made to you, your emergency contact and your Care Manager until someone answers
  • If there is no answer, the machine will lock your missed medication 
  • Includes installation of the device and service

This service must be medically necessary.
