Who Qualifies for the 1-Year Asthma Prescription Refill
Not everyone will qualify. It ensures that only those who can truly benefit from this service—without compromising their health—get access.
1. You must be stable and established on asthma medication
To be eligible, you need to be safely established and stable on your asthma medications for at least one year. This means no recent changes to your treatment, no ongoing medication trials, and no history of recent flare-ups that required emergency care.
If your asthma is predictable, well-managed, and controlled by your current medication, then you’re on the right track.
2. No active asthma attack or illness
You should also not be experiencing an asthma attack or any acute illness at the time you request a refill. If you’re having trouble breathing, wheezing, or feeling unusually tight in your chest, it’s not the right time for a telehealth refill.
In those situations, seek immediate, in-person care or call 911. The safety of patients comes first, and PonteVita Rx isn’t designed to handle emergency medical situations.
| ⚠️ Important Considerations Even if PonteVita Rx makes life easier with refill access, your relationship with your primary care doctor stays essential. This service is not a replacement for your regular provider. You still need to continue with yearly physical exams, routine blood work, pulmonary function tests, and other recommended health screenings. Why? Because those appointments check for changes in your condition and make sure other aspects of your health aren’t being overlooked. PonteVita Rx works best alongside your doctor—not instead of them. |
How to Transfer Your Asthma Prescriptions
If you’ve been stable on your medication and meet the eligibility criteria above, here’s how you can get started in just three easy steps.
1. Schedule an Appointment
First things first—you’ll need to book your appointment online.
Start by selecting the appointment type that fits your needs. Since you’re refilling your asthma prescription, you’ll want to choose “Existing Refill Evaluation – Asthma and Allergy.” You can choose to have your consultation via Video Call or Phone Call, whichever is more convenient for you. If you opt for a phone call, make sure to provide your correct phone number.
Next, pick a date and time that works for you. The scheduling system lets you see all available slots in your time zone.
After selecting a time, you’ll fill in your personal details—your name, email, and phone number—and provide a brief reason for your appointment.
This entire process of scheduling an appointment part usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Meet With a Doctor
Once your forms are reviewed, it’s time to meet with a board-certified physician via telehealth. The appointment is a video call, which gives you and the doctor a chance to talk through your asthma management. You’ll discuss your medication needs and go over your medical history to confirm that a long-term refill is the right and safe option for you.
Depending on where you live, some states require a video consultation to legally approve a prescription. We take care of that, making sure every part of the process meets all state telehealth laws.
3. Get Your Refill
Once the doctor gives the green light, your prescription is sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. That means no paper forms, no delays, and no extra hassle. You just pick it up like you normally would. From there, you’ll have ongoing access to your asthma medication, with no need for constant follow-ups or rushed appointments.
Why Transfer Your Asthma Prescription?
Transferring your asthma prescriptions is a way to take control of your health without the usual stress. Here’s why:
- With PonteVita Rx, you can request refills anytime, from anywhere in the US. Whether you’re traveling, moving, or just can’t make it to the doctor’s office, you’ll still have access to your asthma medications. PonteVita Rx is licensed in all 50 states, so wherever you are, they’ve got you covered. That means no more rearranging your schedule just to sit in a waiting room for a five-minute refill. No more missed doses because of appointment delays. Just uninterrupted access to what you need.
- When you transfer your prescription through PonteVita Rx, you’ll speak with board-certified physicians who have completed over 10,000 telehealth visits. These aren’t rushed or surface-level conversations either. You’ll get thoughtful, personalized support from a doctor who understands asthma and takes the time to make sure your treatment plan is working for you.
- Traditional care often includes surprise charges—from office visit fees to co-pays that add up fast. PonteVita Rx takes a different route. With a tier-based subscription model, you pay an upfront, flat fee depending on how many medications you’re refilling. There are no hidden costs, and you won’t be billed extra just for sending a prescription.
- PonteVita Rx has a “If we cannot treat you, we do not charge you” policy—so if the doctor determines you’re not eligible for a refill, you won’t be charged a thing.
- When it comes to your personal health information, privacy matters. That’s why PonteVita Rx uses Healthie’s platform—a secure, widely trusted system that follows strict industry standards for data protection.
Pricing
We offer three pricing tiers based on the number of medications you’re refilling. Whether you’re managing just one or multiple prescriptions, the cost remains predictable with no hidden charges.
- $10/month for 1–2 medications – billed upfront at $120/year
- $15/month for 3–4 medications – billed upfront at $180/year
- $20/month for 5 medications – billed upfront at $240/year
This means you pay once for the whole year and get 12 months of access to prescription refills, unlimited messaging, and virtual support. It’s one flat rate—no co-pays, no surprise fees, and no recurring monthly charges popping up unexpectedly.
We use upfront billing, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying from day one. That means no monthly auto-deductions and no guesswork.
Plus, if you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can use those cards to pay for the service.
One important note—insurance is not accepted for payment to PonteVita Rx. However, you can still use your insurance at the pharmacy when picking up your asthma medication, just like you normally would.
Wrap Up
With PonteVita Rx, you have a simpler way to get your medication safely, and conveniently. Instead of frequent doctor visits or waiting rooms, the refill process becomes quick and straightforward. As long as your asthma is under control and stable, this could be a smart choice for you.
Still, remember that PonteVita Rx isn’t meant to replace your regular check-ups. Keeping in touch with your primary doctor remains essential to make sure your asthma stays safely managed.
