To order your first prescription through Ardon Health, please have your physician send us your prescription electronically or by fax at 855-425-4096. To fax in your first prescription, your doctor can complete an enrollment form and fax a signed copy to us.

Ardon Health will arrange payment approval from your insurance provider. We may need to contact you to confirm your insurance information. Once approved, we will contact you to arrange the delivery of your prescription.

How do I refill my prescription?

An Ardon Health patient care advocate will automatically contact you a week before your medication runs out. We will work with you to coordinate the best day to deliver your medication.

If you run out of medication before we call, or if you want to order your refill ahead of time, please call us toll-free at 855-425-4085.

What if I run out of refills or my prescription expires?

Don't worry; we'll take care of it. A patient care advocate will contact your physician to request a new prescription before your refills run out or before the prescription expiration date.

What is a prior authorization (PA)?

Health insurance plans often require a prior authorization (PA). This helps ensure that a prescribed specialty medication is appropriate for you. Your doctor may be required to submit more details about your prescribed medication and treatment plan.

How does the PA process work?

Your provider will need to send your health insurance plan details about why your medication is medically necessary. Once the required clinical information is submitted, your health insurance plan can take up to seven business days to make a decision.

How much will my prescription cost?

Feel free to call us toll-free at 855-425-4085. A patient care advocate will be able to tell you your out-of-pocket costs once the prescription is approved by your insurance provider.

Ardon Health will help you find assistance. We can help connect you with available support programs that may help make your prescription more affordable. To learn more, please visit our Advocacy groups page.

How can I pay for my prescription order?

You can pay for your prescriptions by credit card. We also accept checks. We do not accept cash or money orders. A patient care advocate will confirm payment with you during the scheduling process, before each medication is shipped.

How do I find out the status of my ordered prescription?

Call us at 855-425-4085. A patient care advocate can give you details about your prescription order.

Will I get a generic prescription?

Your prescription may be filled with a generic equivalent if one is available. This depends on state law and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) equivalency rating. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact an Ardon Health pharmacist. Below are some helpful links about generic drugs from the FDA:
