Our offices specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation focusing on education and lifestyle change. Your treatment plan may include prescription medication.
We take prescribing medication very seriously and we expect that you to do the same. Medications have documented side effects and must be taken exactly as prescribed. Patients who do not take their medication as prescribed may be discharged from our practice due to noncompliance.
Medications are closely controlled by local, state, and federal governments, as well as by our offices. These medications only block the symptoms and do not correct the underlying problems.
Patients of MDRI are expected to be responsible for their prescriptions and obtaining refills of those prescriptions. According to the Pennsylvania drug monitoring requirements, we require a minimum of 72 business hours to process prescriptions. Refill requests are processed based on the order that they are received.
MDRI providers and staff will manage your request efficiently. Patients are required to provide MDRI providers and/or staff with the following information to handle your request in a timely manner:
- Spelling of first and last name
- Date of birth
- Spelling of prescription
- Dosage
- Quantity requested
- Name and phone number of pharmacy
- Mailing address (if prescription is to be mailed)
- Patient telephone number
Requests that do not meet this requirement may not be processed in a timely manner. MDRI will notify patients when their request has been completed.
Patients are encouraged to communicate any side effects, questions, concerns, or changes in their health history or medications with MDRI providers and staff to ensure patient safety and effective treatment outcomes.
If you think you are experiencing side effects related to your medication, or you do not feel the medications are being of benefit, please contact MDRI immediately so that we may assist you.
We look forward to working with you to build a treatment program that works for you!
