Referral Process:
In general, physician referral is required. Exceptions are made for second opinion or transfer of care.
Prescription Refill Process:
When calling for a prescription renewal, please know the name of the drug that you need and telephone number of the pharmacy where you fill your prescriptions. Please monitor you medication supply to avoid the need for prescription renewals on weekends or holidays. Refills should be requested during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. There are many medications that the on-call physicians cannot refill over the phone. We prefer 48 hours notice for refills. This allows us time to get your physician's approval and the pharmacy time to fill the prescription.
