Prescriptions
Please make an appointment for a repeat prescription. The doctors have a legal obligation to review your medical condition prior to writing a prescription. Most prescriptions provide sufficient medication to last until your condition needs to be reviewed by your doctor. If you request a copy of lost prescriptions (or repeats) without seeing the doctor we need to charge a $20 administration fee to cover costs, as we get a large number of these requests. This fee must be paid before the request can be fulfilled.
Referrals and other requests
Please make an appointment with your doctor to get a referral. This allows the doctor to ensure the specialist gets your most up-to-date medical information and is also our legal obligation under Medicare rules. Copies or renewals of referrals, certificates, faxing requests etc., incur a $20 administration fee which must be paid before the request is fulfilled.
