Hillcrest is one of only a few nursing homes that maintains an in-house pharmacy and employs a full-time pharmacist. This unique service is a crucial link in the care we provide at Hillcrest.

In order to offer this valuable service, Hillcrest does not participate in drug plans or accept drug cards. In some cases, residents and families are able to submit their medication bill to their insurance company for part or full reimbursement.

Our billing and insurance office can assist families in this process but is not responsible for submitting bills on behalf of private pay residents. Enclosed in your monthly statement is a copy of all pharmacy charges, hand-stamped by our licensed pharmacist.

Medications are included for those residents covered under Medicare Part A. Our billing department files with Medicare and the secondary insurance companies on behalf of these residents.

The Hillcrest Care Planning Team must approve self-administration of medications.
