Medication Refills. Requests for medication refills are processed during normal business hours; not in the evening, on weekends, or holidays. Please be aware that it may take up to 3 business days to have your prescription refilled. Accelerated or after-hours refill requests may incur an additional administrative fee.
Medication Refills. Normally, you will be provided with enough medication to last until your next follow up appointment. If you need a refill, please call your pharmacy to fax over a refill request. Please be attentive to the amount of pills you have left and call for refills at least 3 days before you run out. Refills for controlled substances will not be handled on weekends, after hours or on holidays.
Medication Refills. It is of utmost concern to PPP that we refill your medications in a timely manner. It is our policy to give enough medications and refills until the next upcoming appointment, it is the patient’s responsibility to keep up with appointments to obtain enough medication on time. To minimize eros and for your safety, we discourage medication refills between scheduled appointments. In the event that you must obtain medication refills before our next appointment, we recommend that you call your pharmacy at least 3 business days before you expect to run out of medications and ask the pharmacy to fax us medication refill requests. Our clinician will refill medications enough only to cover until the patient’s next scheduled appointment. We expect to have a standing appointment in the near future before providing medication refills. We do not, as a rule, prescribe stimulants, benzodiazepines, or other controlled medications without evaluating the patient via a scheduled appointment. It is up to the practice and the prescribers discretion as to whether or not a controlled substance will be available for refill without a scheduled appointment. Occasionally, a police report may need to be filed in the event of a controlled medication loss or if diversion/abuse is suspected. Our clinicians may decline to refill any medication if they believe it is clinically necessary to evaluate the patient in person before prescribing the medication. Patient/Guardian Initials: The CSPMP will be checked routinely as per the AZ prescribing guidelines. Stimulants, sedatives/hypnotics, benzodiazepines are only prescribed if the prescriber decides that they are medically appropriate. If you are already on medication belonging to the above mentioned categories, your current provider will need to provide the medication until your provider at PPP has decided it is medically appropriate for your treatment. The clinician at PPP reserves the right to decline prescription of the above mentioned classes of medications if it is not deemed medically appropriate regardless of if the patient has been on the medication in the past or is currently being prescribed by an alternative facility/clinician. Additionally, the clinician at PPP reserves the right to decline prescription of the above mentioned classes of medications if it appears to be harmful to your physical and/or mental health, regardless of how long you have been on the medication or if it had been prescribed in the past. There will be times...
Medication Refills. I agree to keep and to be on time for all of my scheduled appointments with my provider in order to receive refills of controlled substances. If an appointment cannot be kept, I agree to contact my provider 48 hours prior to my appointment. No refills will be granted if not seen within a maximum of12 months. • Unless requesting medications during your office visit, all requests should be made to your pharmacy. If for some reason your pharmacy requests that you contact your provider, requests may be made only during regular office hours, Monday through Friday. Requests will not be honored on nights, weekends, or holidays. • I understand that I must contact my pharmacy or provider 3-7 days prior to running out of my medication. All prescriptions will be electronically prescribed. If a paper prescription is issued at provider discretion, my provider is not responsible for any lost or stolen prescriptions. A replacement prescription may or may not be granted at the discretion of the provider. • Early refills will generally not be granted for any reason including, but not limited to theft, loss, damage unless an exception is warranted by your provider. • I understand that if I am arrested and/or incarcerated my provider may no longer refill my controlled substances. • I agree to use one pharmacy only and to always inform my provider of any change in pharmacy.
Medication Refills. It is our shared responsibility to ensure that you do not run out of your medications between appointments. It is safest and most efficient for me to write you new prescriptions when you are at the office in person, so please check on your supply of medication (and refills) prior to our office visits. If you are running low on medication between visits, please contact me at least five days before you run out. This ensures that I will have time to access your file, call in your prescription, and sort out any problems that might arise. As I will sometimes be out of the office when I receive your request for a refill, you can help me fill your prescription completely quickly if you leave all of the following information in your message: Your date of birth Your pharmacy phone # Your phone # The full medication name (e.g., Effexor XR, Ambien CR) The medication strength (e.g., 1mg, 20mg) The exact way you take the medication (e.g., “one-half tablet in the morning and two tablets at night.”) If I do not have all of this information, I will not be able to call in your prescription until I am at the office with your file, which may mean a delay of several days (e.g. if you call on Thursday evening and I am not in the office until Monday morning.)
Medication Refills. Refills are authorized for current patients in active treatment, keeping regular appointments only. I provide prescriptions at appointments. However, should a medication refill become necessary before the next scheduled appointment, please call or email with the following information: your name; date of birth; return call phone number; name of the medication with number of milligrams and daily intake; and name and number of your pharmacy. Communication with the psychiatrist or other licensed mental health practitioner is always held in the strictest confidence and will not be revealed to outside agencies or individuals without your written authorization. Except as medically required and ethically permitted, and except for certain situations which are dictated by law (i.e. child abuse, imminent threat of danger to yourself or others, or court order), I will never release or communicate any aspect of your treat without your consent.
Medication Refills. I understand, acknowledge, and agree that in order to have medication refilled, I must attend an in-person visit at Sugarloaf Medical. I understand, acknowledge, and agree that if I miss an appointment, to promote the safety of Sugarloaf Medical patients, Sugarloaf Medical will not grant refills. For the convenience of our patients, patients may obtain a medication refill by: o contacting the office directly via phone call, o logging into the secure patient portal, or
Medication Refills. We do not want you to run out of your medications. Before you do, we ask that you notify your pharmacist to fax us a “refill request” to 000-000-0000. Please allow 3-4 working days for us to approve your request for ad- ditional medications. Please make an appointment if you have any forms that will require our doctors to fill out. Most forms require an evaluation and possible laboratory testing to com- plete. These include physical examination forms, sports physicals, and disability forms. There may be additional fees if more time outside of the visit is necessary. We are concerned about your health. In order for us to provide the best possible quality of care for you, we will need your cooperation in keeping your scheduled ap- pointments, making follow up appointments, scheduling annual physical exams, and completing tests ordered for you. Please review the Patient Responsibilities form for details.
Medication Refills. It is your responsibility to inform me if you are in need of a refill on your medication. This is best done during your session and will save you a $25 charge for medication refill requests outside of the appointment. I do set aside a percentage of my practice for providing psychiatric care for lower income individuals based on sliding scale Your insurance carrier may reimburse you for payments even though I am considered an "out of network" provider. If you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance carrier I will provide you with a signed receipt for services which contains what would reasonably be expected to be the information necessary for your insurance carrier to process your reimbursement. Clients are responsible for the disclosure of the information contained on such a receipt and for completing any relevant insurance claim form, submitting such claim, and directly seeking reimbursement from their insurance carrier. When you schedule an appointment, you are reserving time. Any missed appointment or cancellation with less than 24 notice may be charged the full cash rate. Exceptions are at discretion of IBC. Please note that insurance plans do not pay for missed appointments. These charges will be entirely your responsibility. Therapy may be discontinued with individuals with a pattern of frequent cancelations.
