Using MyChart for your medications

After logging into MyChart, click the “Medications” icon at the top of the page. 

About halfway down the page (on your computer or via the app on your phone) you will see the green “Request renewals/refills” button.

Clicking this button will show you which medications are available to you.

Each medication available to be refilled or renewed will also show as an option on the medication details.

A refill is needed when you run out of a current prescription. Prescriptions usually allow for several refills so you can continue taking your medications consistently. Once you run out of refills, you will need to have the prescription renewed by your provider.  

Geisinger providers require two to three business days to renew a prescription.

If you are using a Geisinger Pharmacy, you can see the number of refills remaining for your prescription on the main medication page.  (Note: If you’re using the app, you’ll need to click on “Show details” to see your pharmacy information.)

At the top of the medications page, you’ll see an area titled “Update your preferred pharmacy” with instructions to add or remove your preferred pharmacies.

As you order refills, you’ll see all Geisinger pharmacies as well as any preferred pharmacies that are not related to Geisinger.

When ordering your medication, you’ll see a section that you can choose a date and time to pick up your medication(s).  

Medication refills require at least one business day. A medication renewal requires four business days. 

You can leave the area blank if you don’t have a preference.  

We’ll notify you when the prescription is ready for pickup or out for delivery.

We’ll notify you by email or text, depending on your communication preference.

Click the “Menu” button near the top of the page.

Scroll down to “Account Settings.”
Click on “Notifications.”

Click on “Health” and then “Prescription.” There, you can choose to receive communications via email, text and/or phone call.
