Treatment After Normal Business Hours (Medical Access hours)

If treatment is required after hours, the emergency physician will administer the necessary medication. However if this is not possible and there are immediate pharmaceutical needs, the supervisor should visit the Montgomery County Self-Insurance Program website www.mcsip.org. Within the website there is a link for First Script, MCI’s team partner managing Workers’ Compensation Drug Plans.

To assist the employee, the supervisor should print a First Fill Card (temporary pharmacy card). Providing a First Fill Card eliminates the need for out-of-pocket expenses thus making the process convenient for the employee.  Alternatively, if preferred there is also the option to call First Script’s toll free (866) 445-7344 for a pharmacy location.
