Prescription Medicine
Participants can receive prescription medicines approved by the participant’s Medical Home network and when they are prescribed by a Medical Home network provider. Any medications that have not been approved are not paid for by Healthy San Francisco. Each Medical Home has a designated pharmacy or other resource for picking up prescription medicines. See Medical Home Directory for a list of pharmacies.
Participants Receiving Care through Community and Behavioral Health Services
HSF Participants receiving care through San Francisco Community Behavioral Health Services (SFCBHS) can obtain medication through the SFCBHS licensed pharmacy at 1380 Howard Street or through the SFCBHS network of community pharmacies. The pharmacy will consult the SFCBHS pharmacy benefits management company (PBM) to confirm the patient is eligible for services and that the prescribing provider is a SFCBHS provider. Only SFCBHS providers can access specialty psychiatric medications on the SFCBHS formulary.
Participants Receiving Behavioral Care at the Medical Home
HSF participants receiving behavioral health care at their primary care home are authorized to receive only those medications listed on their medical home’s Drug Formulary. Each provider organization may have a different formulary.
