To obtain a prescription refill, you can request one through the patient portal or by calling the office. Your request will be reviewed to make sure the medication is still appropriate for your condition, and a prescription will be sent to your pharmacy for processing.
If the prescription is a medication you take daily and your condition is well controlled, we can refill it without you having to come into the office. However, if your medication requires an adjustment or you need to discuss your treatment plan with your practitioner, we may ask that you schedule an office visit.
No, we do not charge for prescription refills. The cost of the prescription medication is your responsibility. With direct primary care, there are no co-pays for office visits, labs, procedures, or prescription refills.

TBH does not guarantee or control refills of controlled substances through the patient portal, as these are subject to providers’ judgment and applicable regulations. Patients with controlled substance prescriptions must make regular office visits to review the effectiveness and safety of the prescription medication.
