PRESCRIPTION REFILL TIPS
- Remember that it takes 3-4 business days to process a prescription refill request
- Always try to make the request when you have about a 10 day supply left to ensure that you do not run out.
- If there are no more refills on the bottle, do not use that prescription number. When we send in a new prescription it will be assigned a new prescription number and it could be overlooked if the pharmacy is looking for the old prescription number.
- When getting a new prescription come visit us and make the request to WIMC through your patient portal.
