UPDATE: The internet has been restored and we are up and running. ☺️
Just a message to let you know that according to PenTele Data, the internet seems to be down in our area.
Please note: our phones don't work without internet, our software doesn't work without it so we can't fill prescriptions,
and we cannot run credit cards at this time. We're told that someone is on their way to fix this issue.
Happy Monday! 😫

I reposted this so that no one has to download an app to see it.

For most businesses, a major competitor shutting their doors would be welcome. But for pharmacists, taking on new clients can actually pose a risk to their bottom line.

Because of the onslaught of people coming to us from the closures of Rite Aid, Birdsboro Pharmacy and Flying Hills Pharmacy, we can no longer accept new patients with insurance coverage.

This difficult situation is impacting the personal service that we've provided our customers that have supported us for nearly 40 years, and we simply refuse to lower our standard of care for them.

Many insurance plans are now paying negative reimbursements, or paying as little as 17 cents for a prescription! Clearly, pharmacies can't stay in business with these types of reimbursements! This is why so many pharmacies are closing their doors, and we don't want to be one of them! In addition, these low reimbursements aren't enough for us to be able to hire more staff.

If you would still like to use us, we would be more than happy to give you our cash price for your medications.

Thank you for your anticipated understanding,

Sincerely,

Doug and Lisa Hess

Update: We are back up and running. We ask for your patience as it will take some time for us to get caught up. Attention customers:
Our internet is currently down, as is the case with others in our complex. We are unable to recieve and make calls, process prescriptions through insurance and process credit cards. Our internet company is unable to give us a time as to when they'll be out, but I will update this post as soon as we are up and running.
Thank you all for your anticipated patience!

Some of you may have received a letter similar to this regarding your prescriptions. This letter pertains to many plans that fall under Express Scripts, such as Highmark, UPMC, Wellspan, etc.
WE HAVE MET THE REQUIREMENTS to continue to be in your network so that we may be able to continue to fill your prescriptions as always.
We look forward to doing business as usual with you!!!
