Question about prescription access?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:How about contacting your previous GI and asking them for a refill? Or/also: Make an appointment ASAP with your current GI; perhaps that one will prescribe something else. If the current one is part of a network and they provide a physician directory, try to contact another one in-network that will prescribe the same medicine. Perhaps they could contact your previous GI and give you a scrip with nothing more than authorization from the previous GI, i.e., give you a scrip without having to see them before the scrip is issued.
