My prescription was approved. What happens next?

Once the clinician writes your prescription, GenMeds emails you and sends an in-app message with your next step.

Your prescription goes straight to the pharmacy that fills your medication, so you don’t choose a pharmacy and you can’t take the prescription to a pharmacy yourself. Within about 2 business days (weekends don’t count), the pharmacy contacts you to set up your account and payment.

  • Wegovy (pen or pill): NovoCare Pharmacy, Novo Nordisk’s pharmacy service. NovoCare reaches out to set up payment and shipping. For your first order, you sign a consent form and create a NovoCare account; after that, refills run through NovoCare. Your medication ships to your home.

  • Zepbound and Foundayo: LillyDirect, Lilly’s pharmacy service. LillyDirect reaches out to set up payment and ships your medication to your home. If you’d rather pick it up at a participating Walmart pharmacy, ask LillyDirect to set that up when they contact you.

  • Repatha: Amazon Pharmacy. Amazon Pharmacy reaches out to set up your account and payment; its contact details are in that first message.

From there, you work directly with the pharmacy. You pay the pharmacy directly for your medication; the GenMeds Membership fee doesn’t include it. The pharmacy sets the timing and sends you shipping, tracking and pickup updates.

If you’d rather pick up Wegovy at a local pharmacy, call NovoCare Pharmacy at 1-833-949-5527 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern) to switch to pickup, or call or text Photon at (513) 866-3212 to move your prescription to the pharmacy you prefer. To get the cash-pay price at a local pharmacy, you need the Wegovy Savings Card: enroll before you pick up, and you pay at the counter with the card.

Refills

Before each new prescription, you’ll complete a refill check-in on your Dashboard. GenMeds emails you and sends an in-app message when it’s due. If your medication changes, your pharmacy may change too, because each medication is filled by its own pharmacy.

Who to contact

  • Payment, shipping, tracking, delivery or pickup: your pharmacy.

  • Changing pharmacies: call or text Photon at (513) 866-3212.

  • If you can’t reach your pharmacy, or you’re not sure who to ask: message the Support team from your Dashboard.

  • Your prescription or treatment: message your clinician through the chat on your Dashboard, replying to the most recent message about your prescription.
