FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When the office is closed, the phone is routed to an after-hours phone to reach the provider on call. We will return your call within one hour. If you can wait until the next business day, please do so. We do not prescribe routine medications after hours. Please call 911 if you have an emergency.
If you take an ongoing prescription, we will ask you to come in at certain intervals, as this is necessary to monitor your response to the medication. We will refill it at that visit. For all other refills, call your pharmacy and the pharmacy will notify us to take appropriate action. Prescription refill requests will be completed within 48 business hours, so please plan accordingly.
Please check the requirements of your insurance plan. Many insurances require prior authorization from you primary and will not accept retroactive referrals. Some insurances require an evaluation by us before a referral can be made and have specific specialists that are "in network". We will do our best to make this as smooth as possible.
If you cannot come to your appointment, please cancel 24 hours in advance. If you do not show up for an appointment and make no attempt to notify us, we reserve the right to discharge you from the practice. A combination of 3 missed and/or no-show appointments can result in an automatic discharge.
