General medicine policies and information:
Medication refills will be addressed during your regular follow up visits. If there is an emergency situation, I will allow a small supply to be filled only until you can be seen. Please make sure you have a follow up scheduled before requesting refills. Please only request refills during normal business hours, not weekends or holidays. Please allow 48 hours for refill requests to be processed.
This office does not accept automatic refill requests generated by a pharmacy. Please opt out of that service with your pharmacy.
As with any medication treatment , please be aware there are risks and side effects for all prescriptions. We will discuss the most common and concerning side effects in session, but if you have specific questions please ask me or your pharmacist. If a side effect occurs between sessions, please do not wait until your next visit, but call me to discuss.
Update regarding telehealth regulations and schedule 2 medications (adderall, concerta, vyvanse, focalin, ritalin etc….)
The prescription of Schedule II controlled dangerous substances through the use of telemedicine or telehealth shall be authorized only after an initial in-person examination of the patient, as provided by regulation, and a subsequent in-person visit with the patient shall be required every three months for the duration of time that the patient is being prescribed the Schedule II controlled dangerous substance. However, the provisions of this subsection shall not apply, and the in-person examination or review of a patient shall not be required, when a health care provider is prescribing a stimulant which is a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance for use by a minor patient under the age of 18, provided that the health care provider is using interactive, real-time, two-way audio and video technologies when treating the patient and the health care provider has first obtained written consent for the waiver of these in-person examination requirements from the minor patient's parent or guardian.
