FAQs
Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?
Whether a referral is required depends on your insurance plan. Some insurance providers require a referral from a primary care physician, while others allow you to schedule directly with a specialist. Self-pay patients typically do not need a referral. Our office staff can help verify your insurance requirements and guide you through the scheduling process.
How can I renew my prescription?
Prescription renewals are typically handled by contacting your pharmacy, which can submit a refill request directly to our office for review and approval. You may also be able to request refills by calling us directly at (602) 313-7772 or by using the patient portal. Please note that certain medications may require a recent follow-up appointment before renewal.
