Medicare-Covered Service

Medicare Pill Box Organizer

Simplify your medications. A registered nurse comes to your home to organize your pill box, check for interactions, and teach you what each medication does — covered 100% by Medicare.

Managing multiple medications is one of the most common challenges facing seniors and their families. Missed doses, dangerous interactions, and confusion about what each pill does can lead to hospitalizations that are entirely preventable. Five Star's Pill Box Organizer service sends a registered nurse to your home to review every medication you take, organize them into a weekly pill box, and — most importantly — teach you the purpose of each one. This service is covered at 100% by Medicare Part A with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Did You Know

Facts About Medication Safety

Medication non-adherence causes approximately 125,000 deaths and 10% of all hospitalizations in the United States each year. A simple pill box and nurse education can prevent many of these events.

The average senior takes between 5 and 9 prescription medications daily. Without professional organization, the risk of dangerous interactions and missed doses increases significantly.

Medicare covers the Pill Box Organizer service at 100% under Part A. There is no copay, no deductible, and no limit on the number of visits — as long as there is a skilled need.

Studies show that patients who understand why they take each medication are significantly more likely to take them correctly. Education is just as important as organization.
