At APD, we know that quitting tobacco is hard, but the health benefits of quitting are many (PDF). And we want to help you quit! Our team of caring, compassionate medical staff is dedicated to listening and guiding you along your path to maintaining wellness and quitting tobacco.
Our providers work with you to find out what is stopping you from quitting, explore the reasons you want to quit, and discuss what might work for you now. They can offer medical assistance, nicotine replacement, oral medicine to help with cravings, and provide you with personal support options depending on your specific needs and goals.
Prescription refills
In order to provide quality care, prescription refills are best addressed at the time of your visit. This allows you to update the provider and to plan any necessary change in your medication or to schedule testing that may need to be done. We do understand that sometimes this is not possible. Please call your pharmacy directly for routine prescription refills. Routine refill requests are handled Monday through Friday. Please allow 48 hours or two business days for processing. Our office will only call you back regarding your prescription renewal if you have completely run out of your medication or you need to see your provider prior to the prescription being renewed.
Referrals
Most health plans require your primary care provider to refer you to specialists or facilities for certain services within your network. To avoid having your insurance company deny benefits, call our office before obtaining medical care elsewhere unless you believe you have a life-threatening emergency. When you need a referral, allow 7-10 business days for us to process the necessary paperwork. As always, you should check with your insurance company to determine what your benefits are, since referrals do not guarantee payment.
After-hours and emergency care
When our office is closed, a designated provider is on-call to answer your questions and guide you to appropriate care. If your problem is not life-threatening, call our office at 603-448-3122.
