Communicating with Your Doctor and Pharmacist about Escrow Refills

Clearly state you need a prednisone escrow refill. Provide your prescription number and confirm your insurance information. Anticipate questions regarding your current health status and medication usage. Be prepared to discuss any side effects experienced.

Doctor Communication

Contact your doctor’s office directly. Schedule a brief appointment or telehealth consultation to discuss the refill. Discuss the remaining dosage and any changes in your health since your last prescription. Confirm the refill authorization with your doctor before contacting your pharmacy.

Pharmacy Communication

Inform your pharmacist about the escrow refill authorization from your doctor. Double-check they received the necessary information. Ask about the refill process specifics and expected timeline. Confirm your method of pickup or delivery. Confirm the cost before finalizing the refill.

Additional Tips

Keep records of all communications: dates, times, names, and any relevant details. This will aid in any follow-up inquiries. Maintain open communication with both your doctor and pharmacist throughout the refill process. If there are delays, inquire about the reason and potential solutions.
