Prescription Refill Policy
Prescriptions and refills on prescriptions can be obtained from your provider at a scheduled office visit. However, in the event you allow your prescription to run out or expire and you need a refill on an existing prescription you should contact the pharmacy where your prescriptions are filled and have the pharmacist fax a refill request to our office. Refills will be called or faxed to your pharmacy within 24-48 hours of receipt unless there is a problem. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR PHARMACY BEFORE CALLING THE OFFICE BACK TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN CALLED IN. Also, we are unable to call or fax Pharmacy Benefit Managers, like Merck Medco or Advance PCS. But, we will provide you with your appropriate prescription(s) so that you can forward these to your Pharmacy Benefit Manager. Please DO NOT wait until you have completely run out of medication to request a refill. Please Note: We encourage patients to get 6 to 12 month prescription refills for on-going prescriptions at the time of their office visit. Please discuss this with your doctor at each visit.
