You can use this link to schedule a refill for any service type: refill booking link Most refill appointments are pre-scheduled by your provider during your video call appointment. For a refill prescription, your provider will schedule it on the 30th day from your last refill.
  • How early can I get my refill?
    30 Days. As a rule of thumb, DEA allows for providers to send in controlled substance refills every 30 days. They "allow" for exceptions of up to 2 days earlier but not as a general rule. Unless there is an extenuating circumstance, the script can be filled every 30 days. Most pharmacies have tightened their refill policies and have been sticking firm to the 30 day rule. The provider is able to send it in on day 28 but that does not necessarily mean the pharmacist will approve the early pick up.
  • Do I have to be seen in order to get a refill?
    Patients who make their routine follow ups and have a scheduled 90 day follow up on the schedule are considered active clients. If you are seen for an appointment and are booked for the appropriate follow up at the end of your session but then later decide to cancel your follow up on your own, refills are put on hold until you have a confirmed follow up.
  • How do I know if I am pre-booked for a refill?
    Refills are pre-booked out during your face to face video follow up appointment and are listed in your treatment plan and on your portal under the appointment tab. Refills are only booked for weekdays only, Monday-Friday, and refill requests on Saturday & Sunday will not be accommodated.
  • Can I opt in or out at any time for Pre-booked refills?
    Absolutely. If you choose to have refills pre-booked, just let me know at the follow up appointment. If you choose to cancel or not schedule pre-booked refills you must reach out to your provider via the client portal at least 48 hours prior to when your refill is needed so that it can be scheduled and your intake forms can be completed.
  • Do I have to do anything on my refill date?
    No, this is not a face to face video appointment or phone call… Simply just wait for the message: "prescription was sent." However there are forms and your blood pressure & heart rate reading are required to be submitted 24 hours prior to your appointment for all clients on a stimulant medication and for those being treated for high blood pressure.
  • Why did I get a cancellation notification that my refill was canceled?
    All appointments will be canceled if payment is not made 24 hours prior to the appointment date and time. This includes refills. They are also canceled if you have not completed your required intake form for your refill.
  • Why do I have to be seen every 90 days? What if everything's the same?
    Standard of care, DEA regulations, and recommended safe prescribing methods drive the necessity for the client to check in with the provider at a minimum of every 90 days. More and more these days pharmacies are requiring providers to send them a treatment summary that they can add to your profile at the pharmacy location. In this summary, pharmacies want to know your initial evaluation date, most recent follow up date, and next scheduled follow up in order to maintain compliance with the DEA audits they often have. They also want to be sure the patient is being seen by both video and audio for legal thorough identity verification. Telemedicine has been a wonderful venue allowing more clients access to care. With that said, there are certain guidelines and regulations in place that help guide providers, pharmacists and patients to ensure safe care and prescribing practices. The reason for such a tightening on "allowing or not allowing patients" the ability to get a script from a provider who is out of the area and from a telemedicine provider is because there have been a lot of shady and unsafe practices taking place. The COVID19 pandemic opened up a lot of opportunities for companies to provide new venues of care but some companies have not always had the best practices and infrastructure in place. This abuse of practice has caused the industry to slow down, take a step back and implement solid policies ensuring the patients are getting safe, effective and legitimate care. I am a stickler to regulations and standards. I believe each patient has the right to safe care so I follow pretty strict guidelines in order to maintain compliance.
