Prescription Refills
For medication refills, please call your pharmacy 5 days before you are out of medication and ask that they send a refill request to our clinic. This helps to ensure accuracy in our prescriptions.
If you have already done this and need additional help, we recommend you reach out to your provider through the AthenaHealth patient portal.
Some medications require close monitoring due to potential side effects. We may request a visit prior to refilling.
Be aware some controlled substance prescriptions cannot be called in, e-prescribed, or faxed and may take additional processing time. See our policy on controlled substance prescribing for additional details. Click here for our Controlled Substance Policy.
