Please note: This information is for general reference only. Your clinician will review your symptoms and health history to determine which (if any) hyperlipidemia treatments are medically appropriate.
Why is it important to keep taking my high cholesterol medication?
Stopping a medication should be an informed decision that you make with the approval of a doctor, especially when it's a medication like a statin that can lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Even if you become pregnant, experience drug side effects, or make enough lifestyle changes to lower your LDL cholesterol naturally, you still need to talk to a trusted primary care physician (PCP) or cardiologist before discontinuing. They may want to lower your dose or put you on a different medication to keep your arteries healthy.
Can I get my cholesterol levels checked through Amazon Clinic?
No. Cholesterol level testing (called "lipid panels," "cholesterol panels," or "cholesterol labs") isn't available through Amazon Clinic at this time.
What's the difference between a renewal and a refill?
When you run out of your medication, you refill it through a pharmacy. When you run out of refills, a licensed clinician has to renew your prescription.

You can request a remote prescription renewal through Amazon Clinic. Your clinician will send any new prescriptions to a U.S. pharmacy of your choice. You pay for the medication when you pick it up or have it delivered.
What's the prescription renewal policy at Amazon Clinic?
Depending on the online clinic, a prescription renewal may be for a 30- or 90-day supply of medication. A prescription may also include one or more refills.

Clinicians consider many factors when determining if a prescription is medically appropriate. For example, they may want to know how long it's been since you've:
• Taken your medication
• Seen your primary care physician (PCP)
• Had appropriate lab testing
• Had your last prescription renewal through Amazon Clinic*
*Prescription renewals may be limited to one or two within a 12-month period.
What types of visit can I have?
Video visits are available in all 50 states and D.C. Message-only visits are available in 34 states. To see your visit options, first choose your state.
Can I use my health insurance to pay for a visit and/or medication?
Amazon Clinic doesn't accept health insurance for visits at this time. You can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you.

If you normally use insurance to pay for your medications, you can do that with medications prescribed through Amazon Clinic. Amazon Pharmacy accepts most insurance plans. For other pharmacies, please talk with your pharmacy directly about insurance coverage. The cost of medication isn’t included in the cost of your visit.
How does Amazon Clinic protect my health information?
Amazon Clinic protects your health information by strictly following the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA governs what Amazon Clinic and your healthcare providers can do with your medical information, as well as your contact and payment information. Amazon Clinic doesn’t and will never sell your personal information. Learn more on our privacy page.
