Prescription Renewals
Prescription Renewals During Office Appointments
When we renew prescriptions with you in the clinic or during a phone appointment, OHIP will cover the cost.
Consequently, we appreciate it when you are proactive and ask us to renew your prescriptions during a clinic visit.
Tip: If you inform our reception about your preferred pharmacy in advance, we are usually able to send your prescription directly to the pharmacy. Many patients appreciate the convenience of these electronic/faxed prescriptions, since the medication is often ready for pick-up by the time they arrive.
Prescription Renewals Outside of Office Appointments
Since prescription renewals outside of office appointments are not covered by OHIP, there is a fee for each separate renewal request (except for patients who prefer to pay via the annual block fee).
First, please double-check that your prescription does not have any refills remaining. If there are refills, you do not need a prescription renewal.
If you are out of refills and don’t mind the fee, ask your pharmacy to send a renewal request to the office.
Alternatively, you may book a phone or in-person appointment with your physician if you would like OHIP to cover this cost.
