Know what you take, why you take it, and what comes next.
Medication lists can become complicated when several clinicians are involved. Icare can review current medicines, identify possible duplication or concerns, monitor treatment when appropriate, and coordinate with specialists or pharmacies.
Why one complete list matters.
When several clinicians prescribe for the same person, no single office may see the full picture. Add over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements, and it becomes easy for duplication, interactions, or missed monitoring to slip through unnoticed.
Medication review brings everything into one conversation: what you take, why each medicine was started, whether it may still be doing its job, and what monitoring it may need. Care coordination extends that work beyond the visit — records requests, specialist communication, and pharmacy questions handled by one team.

What to expect at a medication review.
- 01
Call 702-988-3177 to set up a review, and gather everything you take — including over-the-counter items and supplements.
- 02
The clinician builds one reconciled list: each medicine, its dose, and the reason it was started.
- 03
The list is reviewed for possible duplication, interactions, side effects, and monitoring needs.
- 04
Questions that need outside input — a specialist’s reasoning, prior records, pharmacy history — are noted for follow-up.
- 05
You leave with an updated list and a plan for refills, monitoring, and coordination, depending on the evaluation.
The work that continues beyond the visit.
Medication reconciliation
One accurate, current list that follows you across your Icare care.
Monitoring coordination
Laboratory work or other monitoring arranged when a medicine requires it.
Records requests
Outside records requested with your permission so decisions rest on full information.
Specialist communication
Coordination with outside prescribers when questions or changes affect their treatment.
Pharmacy coordination
Working through pharmacy questions, transfers, and payer requirements as they arise.
Refill planning
A clear picture of which refills may need a visit, monitoring, or records before renewal.
Common questions about medication review.
Do I need an appointment to get a refill?+
It depends on the medication and how recently it was reviewed. Some renewals may require a visit, laboratory work, or outside records first. Call before your medicine runs out so there is time to sort out what is needed.
Can Icare coordinate with specialists I already see?+
Yes, when appropriate and with your permission. The team can request records and communicate with outside prescribers so a change on one side doesn’t surprise the other.
How are controlled medicines handled?+
Controlled substances follow additional clinical and regulatory requirements, which can include visits and monitoring. The specifics depend on the medication and your situation and are discussed individually.
