We make medication easy by initiating and distributing the proper dosage from one easy location. Get the care you need with the confidence of simplicity and accuracy.
Recent advances in cancer treatment have led to the development of oral anti-cancer medications, known as oral oncolytics. These therapies target specific biological processes within cancer cells and offer many patients a convenient alternative to infusion-based treatment.
Oral oncolytics allow eligible patients to receive treatment from the comfort of home while remaining under the close supervision of their oncology care team. For many patients, this approach provides greater convenience, flexibility, and involvement in their treatment journey.
The Cancer Center of Kansas Oral Medication Center, located at our main Wichita Heritage Plaza office, dispenses oral oncolytics and supportive medicines, such as antiemetics and antibiotics, which are a part of your CCK treatment plan. Unlike a retail pharmacy, our Oral Medication Center serves only Cancer Center of Kansas patients.
When you receive a newly prescribed oral medication from our dispensary, a member of our clinical team will provide comprehensive medication education, including how and when to take your medication, potential side effects, and strategies for side effect management. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive personalized guidance regarding your oral medication.
If your prescription includes refills, requests can be made by calling our office at 316-613-4337 or through the Patient Portal. Please note if your prescription was filled at a local pharmacy you must contact that pharmacy directly for assistance or refills.
CCK Oral Medication Center does not process prescription refill requests on weekends or holidays.
The Oral Medication Center is conveniently located within our Wichita campus at:
Cancer Center of Kansas – Heritage Plaza 818 N. Emporia Street Suite 108 Wichita, KS 67214
Patients visiting the Oral Medication Center may enter in either of the following ways:
Patients visiting the Oral Medication Center for a quick medication pick-up only may use one of two designated parking spaces located in the south parking area of the Heritage Plaza building, accessible from Murdock Street. These reserved spaces provide convenient access to the Oral Medication Center entrance.
If you are visiting the Oral Medication Center for medication pick-up, refills, counseling, or medication education, please proceed directly to Suite 108.
In addition to providing you convenient access and complete patient education, our Oral Medication Center staff provides a variety of other services to assist you in procuring therapy drugs, such as:
Yes, we file with all insurance plans, including Medicare Plans D and B, commercial insurance, Tricare and Medicaid.
Unfortunately, we cannot take back any unused medications from patients whether or not they were dispensed by us. Instead, below are some helpful resources regarding disposal of unused medications.
A local medication disposal drop-box can be found at Walgreens 3333 E Central Ave, Wichita, KS 67208. Call them at 316-682-2999 for specifics regarding their disposal policy or visit them at Walgreens Safe Medication Disposal Information. For further information regarding safe disposal, visit the FDA Disposal of Unused Medicines webpage.
Yes. We have several members of our team within our Business Office who can assist you in determining eligibility and securing copay assistance.
No. Treatment decisions made by you and your CCK physician during your office visits can often include changes in dose, changes in treatment schedule and/or changes in drug or treatment plan entirely. In addition, these drugs are uniquely expensive and cannot be returned if your drug or dose has been changed. Therefore, prescriptions for your oral oncolytics will be written once these decisions are made.
No. We offer this as a convenience to our patients in the ways discussed above. Also, some oral oncolytics are not readily available through local pharmacies. They must either be specially ordered or are only available through limited pharmacies, which may or may not be convenient for you.
As with most therapeutic oncology drugs, your insurance will often require a prior authorization. These authorizations can take anywhere from 3-5 days. If you are eligible to receive copay assistance, this may result in additional delays in receiving your medication. We strive to provide you your medications as efficiently as possible.
No. We do not provide prescription refills of any kind on the weekend. Please call or message us through the Portal prior to the weekend if you are in need of a refill.
As a convenience to our patients who live outside of Wichita, especially in the more remote areas of Kansas, we will ship your medications directly from the Oral Medication Center to the Cancer Center of Kansas office where you receive your treatment.
