Medications

It is helpful for us if you know the exact name and dose of the medication(s) your child is taking. This will assure accurate record keeping and prescribing on our part. It is also difficult for us to keep up with the various pharmacy changes in the many insurance plans that we accept. If we prescribe a medicine that has a high co-pay or is not covered by your insurance, please let us know. We can often find an acceptable and less expensive alternative.

Refills

Please allow 2 to 3 days notice for renewal of prescriptions. These should be done during our normal business hours. The following information is helpful:

• Name and date of birth of child
• Exact name, strength, dose, and frequency of medication
• Pharmacy name and number. The fax number would also be helpful since we now have the capability to fax prescriptions.

If you are leaving us a message by phone with the above information, please speak clearly. Spelling the name of the medication is also helpful to avoid error.
