How Medication Synchronization Saves You Time and Money

What Is Medication Synchronization?

Medication synchronization (or "med sync") is a free service at Pharmacy 1 that aligns all of your prescription refill dates to a single day each month. Instead of making multiple trips to the pharmacy, you pick up everything at once — or we deliver it all to your door for free.

How Med Sync Works

  1. Enrollment — Tell your pharmacist you'd like to start med sync. We'll review all your current medications.
  2. Alignment — We work with your insurance and doctors to align all refill dates. Some prescriptions may need short fills initially.
  3. Monthly Coordination — Each month, we proactively prepare all your medications before your sync date.
  4. Pickup or Delivery — On your sync day, everything is ready. Pick up or get free delivery.

Who Benefits Most?

Med sync is especially valuable for patients who take 3 or more daily medications, manage chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension, have caregivers managing medications for a family member, or frequently forget refills.

Benefits of Med Sync

  • Better adherence — Studies show med sync improves adherence by up to 25%
  • Fewer pharmacy trips — One visit per month instead of 4-5
  • Proactive care — We catch expired prescriptions before you run out
  • Free delivery option — Get all medications delivered on your sync day
  • Insurance optimization — We work with your plan for the best pricing

Med Sync and Medi-Cal

Medication synchronization works with all insurance plans, including Medi-Cal. There is no additional cost — it's completely free at Pharmacy 1. Our bilingual staff can explain the program in your preferred language.
