Now I take a somewhat different position to Bert. I will NOT refill routine meds after hours. I had a patient call me yesterday about a tylenol refill 30 minutes after the office closed (medicaid) and she was told it might have happened if she had called an hour earlier. Now she would have to buy it.
If they have an appointment coming up, I will give add refills. I am generally liberal for 1 year after the last visit, at that point SORRY. Some of this also depends on the medicine. I have a different policy for asthma meds vs a meds for enuresis.
