I want to personally let you know about new state regulations regarding controlled substance medication refills that took effect on April 1, 2026. These changes are required by the state and were not made by our practice. You are required to be physically seen, in office, every 3 months (90 days) in order for medication to be refilled.
I understand these new requirements may be challenging for some patients, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as we work together to comply with the law. Please plan your appointments and refill requests accordingly to help avoid interruptions in your care.
Thank you,
