Requests for medication refills may take 48 business hours to complete and will not be refilled on an “urgent” basis.
Refill requests must be made during regular weekday office hours. The on-call provider will not refill medications on nights/weekends.
Narcotic pain medication prescriptions cannot be called in, faxed, or emailed to a pharmacy. Patients must physically take a handwritten prescription to the pharmacy. This is required by law.
Patients taking narcotic pain medications prescribed by another provider will have to return to that provider for any refills.
Narcotic pain medications are only prescribed for post-surgical pain or acute fractures.
Narcotic pain medications are not prescribed for more than 6 weeks after surgery.
