Instructions to
Patients Needing
Refills on Prescriptions
Only qualified
patients may get refills.
Patients need to
phone in their refill orders at least 2 days before clinic. If you
do not phone in refills, you will have to see a doctor.
Office staff
will be able to confirm if you have refills or not. Please have
your medicine bottles close by so that you can tell them the name of
your medicine.
REFILLS ONLY
If you do not have refills and you don’t
need to see the doctor, you will be put on a Refills Only list.
Your re-order prescription will have to be approved by a medical
doctor at Thursday night clinic. When you sign in at the front door
tell them that you are here for Refills Only. Your chart will be
pulled and the doctor will call you back to an examination room to
confirm that the particular medication is still working well for
you. He will approve or disprove the refill and send you to the
pharmacy. This is usually a lot faster than having to wait to see a
doctor for refills. This can NOT be done at Follow-up Clinic.
Patients who were notified by patient
assistance that medicines came in from the pharmaceutical companies
can pick up their medication at Thursday night clinic or at
Follow-up Clinic on the following Tuesday at 1:00 PM.
Patients who called in refills prior to
Thursday night clinic may pick up their medications at Thursday
night clinic or at Follow-up Clinic on the follow9ing Tuesday at
1:00 PM.
