Over the hill, into the Valley.

Ventura Boulevard from Studio City to Woodland Hills is effectively a medical corridor, with outpatient surgical suites tucked into the office buildings above the retail. For a facility scheduling a case on it, sending us the order the day before turns the discharge into a non-event.

The route from Beverly Hills is over Coldwater or Beverly Glen, or the 405 if the 405 is behaving. Morning orders are the dependable ones; a four o'clock request over the hill is a conversation, not a promise.

What we do for patients in The San Fernando Valley

• Dispense on a lien for represented injury patients — nothing collected at the counter, balance held against the case.
• Deliver same-day by courier to the surgery center, the law firm or the patient's door.
• Deliver post-op discharge medication to surgery centers, timed to the discharge rather than to our route.
• Deliver to the patient's home for anyone who cannot drive after an injury or a procedure.
• Supply bracing and DME on the same lien and the same statement as the medication.
• Send itemized billing to the law firm on every fill, and a final balance letter at settlement.

Getting an order to us from The San Fernando Valley

E-prescribe to the pharmacy, or fax the order to (323) 653-4079 and call (323) 653-4070 so we know it is attached to a discharge. For a scheduled case, the day before is always better than the day of — it removes the traffic question entirely.
