Our Prescription Refill Procedures
Medications are ordered for a specific period of time based on your medical condition and physician’s plan of care. Maintaining compliance with your medications is an important part of your health care. Our physicians closely monitor your medications and require follow up office visits to ensure you are receiving the best possible outcomes with your medication management. If compliance is not maintained, your prescription refills may be denied.
Refill requests should be made directly to the pharmacy. Your pharmacy will then contact our office for authorization of the medication requested.
- Routine medication refills will be processed within 72 hours
- Written medication refills will be processed within 48 hours (You will be notified when the prescription is ready to pick up at the office)
