They are medication experts and a key part of the RiverStone Health healthcare team. Our pharmacists work with your doctor to ensure your treatment is as safe and effective as possible.
Conveniently located on our downtown Billings campus, RiverStone Health pharmacy enables patients to get medications immediately after a medical appointment without having to go to another location.
Our Pharmacists:
Explain how medicine helps you achieve healthcare goals
Answer questions and give advice on taking medicine correctly
Talk to you about how to handle possible side effects
Show you how to use medical devices like insulin pens and inhalers
Throwing away unused medication in the trash or flushing them in the toilet is never a good idea.
In the pharmacy, we have a safe and secure medication drop box available during pharmacy hours for your unused prescription and over-the-counter medications.
RiverStone Health provides medication assistance for low-income or uninsured RiverStone Health Clinic patients who cannot afford their medications. The application process may take 4 to 6 weeks and approval is determined by the individual pharmaceutical companies. This is not an immediate or emergency assistance service.
Before the application process can begin, you must have a current 90-day prescription and have income verification documents with you. If assistance is approved, a three-month supply of medication can be provided.
No appointment is needed; medication assistance through the pharmacy is available on a walk-in basis.

Appointments with the clinical pharmacist can be in-person or telemedicine visits.

The clinical pharmacist will work with you to create a care plan and make needed changes in drug therapy. Follow-up appointments will make sure your healthcare goals are met.
