No. Issuing, modifying or renewing prescriptions cannot be completed without an assessment and appointment. Our health professionals are committed to providing safe and effective care, which requires a proper evaluation of your current health status before issuing, amending or renewing any medications. This policy aligns with regulatory standards and ensures that your treatment plan remains appropriate and effective.
BHRT prescriptions, in particular, require diligent oversight due to their personalized nature and potential for changes in your hormonal needs over time. Regular assessments allow us to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
As a private fee-for-service (FFS) clinic, we prioritize maintaining affordability for the majority of our patients. To help keep costs low, we do encourage patients to explore alternative options for renewing their prescriptions. You can ask your MD or request the pharmacy to renew your prescription directly. If available to you, these options typically do not have associated fees and can save you both time and money.
