Prescription Ordering

For the past several years Rockville Internal Medicine has participated in electronic prescribing of prescriptions. No longer do you need to take a written prescription to your local pharmacy and wait for it to be filled. Your physician orders or renews your prescription from your electronic chart. This order is then directed to the pharmacy of your choice, and is frequently ready for you to pick up when you get to the pharmacy. To refill a prescription, simply call your pharmacy or our office and the prescription will be processed within 24 hours.

If you prescribe to a mail order pharmacy, your prescriptions can be ordered or renewed electronically or by fax. For refills, most mail order prescriptions come to the patient with a refill label that only needs to be returned to the pharmacy by the patient. If you have no remaining refills, contact your mail order pharmacy and the pharmacy will contact the physician for authorization.

When calling the office in reference to a prescription please use option 5 from the phone menu to speak with a Medical Assistant.
