Medication Refills

It is our policy to see patients at least once yearly for ongoing prescriptions to be refilled. Depending on your condition and/or medication, it may be necessary for you to be seen more frequently than once a year to have an ongoing prescription refilled. If a phone refill is appropriate you may call us during normal business hours and can expect your prescription to be called in by 5 pm. We recommend you call your pharmacy prior to pickup to ensure you medication is ready.

Referrals

Your insurance company may require that you first have a referral from your primary physician in order to be seen by our practice. Please be sure that this referral and preapproval process is done PRIOR to your visit. If this is not done, we are required to have you sign a waiver that guarantees payment for services in the event the insurance company refuses coverage. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
