Prescription Refills:

If you need a refill, please contact your pharmacy several days before your supplies run out. Your pharmacy should be your first point of contact for all prescription refills. You may call our office if you are having difficulties with your pharmacy. Please allow sufficient time to obtain the required approval. Refills are not handled after hours, on weekends or holidays. If you have any questions, or if you're experiencing difficulty taking your medications, bring it to the attention of your pharmacist and your doctor.

Referrals:

When other medical Specialists, or certain tests, are required your primary care physician will refer you to a high quality specialist.

Generally, our office staff will process your referral or Pre-certification.

If you have any questions regarding referrals, call ext. 2103.

  • If you have Medicare, commercial insurance or a preferred provider organization insurance, you will not require written referral to see a specialist. However, it is advisable to consult with your insurance carrier or your primary care physician to provide optimal communication amongst your treating physicians.
  • If you have a managed health plan type of coverage (HMO or POS), you are required to have a written referral to see a specialist. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind that should maximize your satisfaction.
  • Please contact your primary care physician prior to making an appointment for diagnostic testing or specialty physician visits. Many insurance plans will refuse to authorize payment for referrals made after a visit.
  • If a specialist we referred you to recommends MRI/CT/PETscan testing, that specialist is responsible for obtaining the proper authorization for those tests. For all other specialist to specalist referrals, you must contact your primary care physician to obtain a referral prior to those additional services.
  • Please allow two business days for the processing of all referrals. Authorization of surgeries may take slightly longer.
  • Because of the need to contact specialists and insurers before many referrals can be authorized, we have full-time staff members dedicated to assisting our primary care physicians in the facilitation of your referrals. /li>
