Prescription over the phone!?

Question

I just had a physical over 2 months ago. I have anxiety attacks, if I call the doctor can I get a prescription over the phone?? And it will I be charged for it??

Answer 1

If you are listed as a patient and the doctor has seen you and prescribed before, he or she can phone in a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.  You will be charged by the pharmacy of course either out of pocket or through your insurance.  Physicians usually do not charge for such a service, but that of course is dependent on your state of residence and doctor/pharmacy policy.
