Our pharmacy team supports your cancer care
As part of the TMC Health system of care, you have access to a dedicated team of clinical pharmacists who work with your doctor to make sure your medications are filled safely and correctly.
Prescription services
TMC Health Cancer Center offers a cancer care specialty pharmacy to fill cancer-related and supportive care medications. This service works like your typical retail pharmacy but with extra care from experts who understand your cancer treatment.
Getting your medications through our service means you can receive on-site education and have your questions answered by nurses and pharmacy staff.
Your pharmacist is part of your care team
A pharmacist trained in cancer care will be part of your treatment team. The pharmacist will:
- Work with your doctors and other pharmacies to ensure medications are safe and effective.
- Help prevent negative drug interactions so you can take medications as prescribed.
- Provide expert advice about your prescriptions.
Our staff also helps with financial assistance, insurance approvals, refills, tracks medication effects, and checks in on any symptoms or concerns you may have. This close monitoring helps your doctor adjust treatment as needed for the best care.
Why use the cancer care specialty pharmacy?
- Expert care: Specialty-trained pharmacists work with you, your oncologist and other providers to ensure safe, effective treatment.
- Easy access: Call or email your oncology pharmacist anytime with questions. The pharmacy is open Mon- Fri 8 a.m. - 4: 30 p.m. and has an on-call pharmacist available 24/7 for urgent or emergent questions regarding your cancer-related treatment.
- Ongoing support: Your pharmacist will check in on you to manage your medications.
- Side effect management: Get help with symptoms to avoid ER or urgent care visits.

Prescription and benefits coverage
Our office works with most prescription benefit providers, including Medicare. In some cases, using our pharmacy may be more affordable than retail or specialty pharmacies.
Our team reviews your insurance and looks for co-payment assistance options including manufacturer programs, grants, foundations and copay assistance.
We will coordinate with you once we receive and review your prescription to deliver your medication. You may also choose to pick up the medication in person if desired.
Prescribing oncology-specific medications
When your doctor prescribes specialized cancer medications, our team works with your insurance to get approval and ensure the medications are available in our office. This makes starting treatment easier and reduces delays.
Our in-office pharmacy offers both convenience and expert support to help you through the process.
