[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 188720, member: 1233"] Janet, Be very careful with that medicine contract. MOST say that you will get ALL your medications from one doctor and get them filled at ONE pharmacy. There ARE docs here who will drop you from the clinic, report you to the DEA and make notes on your file if you let any other doctor write a prescription or you get even an emergency antibiotic filled at a different pharmacy. Make sure you write on your contract that you see X and Y type docs who prescribe medications for their specialty, and you will also ONLY fill non-pain controlling emergency prescriptions at pharmacy W because it is open when your pharmacy isn't. I am not joking about this. It would seem common sense to let the psychiatrist write the psychiatric medications and the pain doctor do pain medications and the GP do antibiotics etc... but MANY docs are following these contracts to the letter. The doctor you don't like could use this to drop you from the practice. He could also turn you over to the DEA for not following the contract. I don't know how rabid he is about these, but you should always be careful to ask about any of these things and have the doctor sign any exceptions. I wish there was a way to magically help you feel better. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
