Repeat Prescriptions
Each GP surgery or primary care practice will have its own procedure for repeat prescribing but the following rules are common to most, if not all. Patients who are well-known to the practice who have a stable condition like asthma, hypertension or diabetes could be allowed to get a repeat prescription for up to six months. Repeat prescriptions are never given to patients who are not known to the practice and there is probably a blanket ban on repeats for narcotics and other drugs that could be misused as doctors are expected to monitor these drugs carefully.
All requests for Repeat Prescriptions are now booked with either a Prescribing Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Pharmacist and or Nurse Prescriber. Please make an appointment to complete this.
We DO NOT complete prescription requests if we are not your usual doctor or practice as we do not have your medical records .
This only applies to REGULAR MEDICATIONS and the guide is they will be completed within a consultation with your GP via telephone, in person or via Video. The service will depend on your health condition and you may be required to attend a face to face consultation. Scripts may not be completed without this following any hospitalisations with changes that need to be monitored . We do not complete or redo scripts on behalf of another health provider. The cost of these is $19.50.
Please request your script via your patient portal via MMH App (Manage MY Health). Notify us of the pharmacy you wish to pick this up from. If you are not registered for this please call in to the centre and enrol. This portal is our preferred communication channel and saves phone calls and your request is saved within your medical records. This is available the same as online banking 24 hours day and may save time. The cost of these is $15.00.
E Scripts (electronic) from May 2020 are now the normal mechanism and will be sent via the internet to the pharmacy of your choice, or the local pharmacy. Once this has been completed this cannot be changed, or a new E script will need to be requested and charged.
Any scripts requested will incur a fee equal to your usual medical consultation fee, and if not collected or required are still considered a completed service. All unpaid fees may then incur an additional administration fee of $10.00.
For any outstanding balances a prescription may be refused (prescriptions are not an urgent service). Payment is expected to be completed within 10 days of the request. An invoice will be sent via your email address.
