What medications will be refilled?

Our office will only refill those medications we have prescribed, and only if you are an active patient in our practice.

How many refills will be prescribed?

During your office visit, we will try to prescribe medications with enough refills to last you until your next office visit.

If you cancel your follow up appointment, we will NOT refill your medications until you are re-evaluated by Dr. Athni.

If you choose not to re-schedule your appointment, you should consider obtaining all further refills thru your primary care physician.

How are refills processed??

We normally refill medications during the office visit.

But, if you happen to run out of medications prior to your office visit, we request that your pharmacy "fax" us a request for refills.

Once verified, we will send your refill thru "eRx", which is an electronic prescription service via the internet.

The eRx system minimizes human error, and reduces prescription filling time. Once we send an eRx prescrption, an eRx is typically processed and filled within 1 hour by most pharmacies.

To minimize errors, we will NOT refill medications thru "mail order" pharmacies. We will give you a hand-written prescription during your office visit for you to mail to your pharmacy.
