In an effort to promote patient SAFETY, Arbor medical has made the following changes to its prescription drug policy:

All prescription refills must be called in by the patient.

Arbor Medical will no longer take electronic refill requests or request from the pharmacy due to safety issues

All refills require verbal confirmation of dosing by the patient

To ensure that medications get refilled in a timely manner, all refills must be called in at least 14 days in advance

If a medication requires a prior authorization from your insurance , please allow a minimum of 30 days for a refill

If you are a patient of Dr. Padman’s you will need to have lab work on file a minimum of every 365 days (or more frequently per the discretion of the prescribing physician )

Failure to attend scheduled appointments may result in an inability to fill medications

Medications will not be filled after working hours or on the weekends

Arbor Medical continues to work in a manner that promotes both patient safety along with medication adherence in an effort to encourage optimal health outcomes. Thank you for your cooperation .
