Medicine Packaging

The bubble-packing system is designed to eliminate confusion and help you to keep track of your medications.  Your medications are organized into 4 different time slots and placed into either a blister card on a reusable container.  Each device can hold a seven day supply of medications.  You no longer need to worry about what medications to take when or even if you took your medications.  If you do not remember taking a dose simply check your card or device to see if you have missed any doses.

Bubble packs can be filled on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.  Home delivery is available.  For more information on bubble-packing, call 509-334-6506.

FAQs

What are some of the limitations of bubble packing? This system is ideal for tablets and capsules  that need to be taken on a regular basis. Medications that are to be taken on an as-needed basis, liquids, or items that require refrigeration would be packaged separately.

Who can benefit from bubble-packing? If you or a family member are on multiple medications and/or have difficulty remembering what medications to take when, this can make taking and tracking medication easier.  Specifically, people on a complicated medication regimen (4 or more medications), patients with memory problems or visual impairment and people who are under the care of  a caregiver.

Is there a service charge?  Does insurance pay for it? The bubble-packing fee is $12/month.  It is not covered by most insurance companies, but Washington Medicaid does cover the fee in certain situations.

How do I get myself or family member set up on bubble-packing? We will need a copy of the prescription insurance card, a credit card to keep on file for medication co-pays and bubble pack fees.  Call our bubble-packing technician at 334-6506 to set up a filling and delivery schedule.
