If you are out of your medication today, call your pharmacy first and ask whether it can fill your prescription today or give you a short supply. If missing a dose of your medication can be dangerous and you cannot get more before your next dose, go to urgent care or an emergency room instead of waiting.
What to do in the next hour
- Call your pharmacy. Ask whether your prescription has refills left. If it does, the pharmacy can fill it without a new prescription.
- Ask the pharmacist about an emergency supply. Many states let a pharmacist dispense a limited one-time emergency supply of a maintenance medication when the prescriber cannot be reached. The rules vary by state, so ask what is possible where you live.
- Ask whether missing doses is dangerous for your medication. The pharmacist can answer that. Say when you took your last dose.
- Call the office that prescribed it. Tell them you are out of doses today.
- If you already have a Temi request in, call or text (855) 554-3030 and tell us you are out, so the care team knows.
When to go to urgent care or call 911
- If missing doses of your medication can be dangerous and you cannot get more before your next dose, go to urgent care or an emergency room now.
- If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, or another emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Temi does not provide emergency care.
Where Temi fits
Temi renews prescriptions for medications you already take, except controlled substances. It is not the fastest route when you run out today: standard review is within 48 hours, often sooner. When Priority review is available, you can choose it before you submit. It is one flat price, and review is promised within 2 hours.
A refill request is $15, or $0 with Temi Care, and a licensed physician reviews it within 48 hours, often sooner. You pay your pharmacy for the medication.
