Refills depend on Doctor and the State's laws. Unbelievebly, South Carolina does not allow refills on class III.

And what with Michael J. And Heath L. managing to have more money than brains, Docs are quite rightly worried, even though the diff between a couple of class III versus bottles of OC's mixed with Diazepam (why do folks even use these? Not that there is anything wrong with that...) is literally night and day...

Common sense is the first casualty...

It is also harder and harder to get a Doctor in SC to write anything more than Tramadol. If your lucky at the urgent care they might write for 15 hydro. I just hold onto them until i think my head will explode.I personally do not like Tramadol,but it is better than nothing I suppose when needed

My doctor has always written 2 refills (in SC). I have noticed some doctors will tell you it's against the law and some say it's not. I asked my pharmacist and they say SC actually will allow 5 refills on schedule III. And this is true, my Mom always got her pain medication with 5 refills. Sounds like SC laws are not clear or maybe in a gray area.

Hey Axel, could you tell me where in Ca you had your consult? I am in southern ca and it looks like the closest one is in Riverside or Temecula. And you had a good experience? Did the consult include refills? Thanks for the info. You can PM me if you like. Thank you.

I can also see where a Doc would not write refills if they are assuming you won't come back for next two visits... And they would lose the fees.

Now, one more week and I call in for second fill. Will see how this goes. Initial visit was good.

Problem? Doc wants all prescriptions filled prior to seeing him faxed to his office. Problem? I was using PPC, and I have been unable to get them on the phone to get FAX number for medical release of prescriptions filled to Doc.

Was using PPC for a year after lost my job, and medical coverage. I did have a good pain Doc. But he kept doing spinal injections, wanted to burn nerves, then I moved to South Carolina. And you all know what it is like to walk in off the street, to see a Doc. They want to put you through the whole process again. Like I had the cash...

So, anyone have PPC's FAX number?

On the plus side, AMS F2F is less expensive than the old way. Walk out the door, Rx in hand, $67.00 at the pharm.

Groucho_fan....Do you know the Name of the Pharm that Filled your PPC Scripts?
If so...You could call them and have them send you a Print out....Of corse you will have to fill out a HIPPA form ....But that should work!

Hello AxelFoley,

We apologize for the confusion. When we bring new physicians into our service, sometimes it takes a couple appointments to get them comfortable with our system and familiar with how it works. Just give us a call when its time for you to complete a follow up consultation and we will make sure you receive a discount for the confusion.

Thank You,

Hello Maandmister,

Groucho_fan is right refills depend on the physician and or state laws. Most physicians though are not authorizing refills and requiring patients to complete follow up telephone consultations each month to insure that your condition is closely monitored on a regular basis. They do this to insure that both you and they are protected incase of any extra scrutiny from any government agencies. That is why we have made sure our pricing for F2F exams and Telephone consults are as low as possible to insure everyone’s costs are as close to pre-RHA levels as possible.

I'm in NY, I think PA is the closest doc for me but going to give a try (somebody said OTN out of business, i haven't had any reply & need to get moving on my F2F). Just faxed my records & hope to hear back from Allied soooon!

Has anyone had trouble getting your records to Allied? I emailed and faxed my records and the doctor said they were not showing up on my documents page.

Getting the script filled locally seems fine with these folks and it is a lot cheaper and quicker. Just the cost of FEDEX is half of the script!

Anyone seen the doc in rhode island?

Gotta say another quick turnaround time for phone consult. 1 day from consult to fed ex at home!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Did you use the direct script or did you use their pharmacy?

Hello Larrysills,

All records that are faxed in are usually processed and on your account within a few hours, unless they are faxed in over the weekend. If you are able to view the records on your account then the physician can see them too. If your records issue has not been resolved already please give us a call so we can sort it out.

I used direct script at target. I use the ps card(discount card). It costs me 21.00 for 90# 10/325. No questions asked

Hey Brighteyes,

Sorry for lagging with a response. I went to the office in Riverside and I live in Orange County. The drive wasn't that bad....and they don't give refills on the original script. They say call in to the dr. and they'll send you the medication or call it in for you. I just had my first refill request and it was a piece of cake.

Good Luck!

Great experience, except for the hours of driving from NY to PA... Can't believe an entire day of driving was my best option. But Allied was great, faxed records, got confirmation, got quick reply when trying to navigate site to get to payment part after scheduling an appt. The doc called me shortly after I scheduled, the website listed Saturday hours so I chose that but she said she was planning on trip over the weekend, I asked about Thurs which wasn't listed as an option - turns out she came in on her day off to meet me Thursday just to meet me, the office was empty. She was very nice and easy to talk to, warned that NY pharmacies might have to verify by phone to fill the script but I wanted to use my insurance so took back to NY, and sure enough first pharm I took Rx to wanted to wait for phone confirmation from doc but CVS took Rx no problem. Wrote for #90 but no refills without calling for reconsult $120. I couldn't figure out where to get the $40 discount code in so will follow up on getting that credited toward next call. Overall good as can be expected these days.

They are there, thank you. Now if I can just get a hold of the doc

Wanted to share my experience - after reading the posts on this company they seemed like the best option. I have made several attempts in the last few days to contact via email and phone after faxing in my records but have been unable to get a response. Perhaps they are closed mid-week or are very busy?

Do you have one in Oregon? What are you guys all about and are you FDA approved?

anyone having trouble with shipping?

Hello AngelikaJ,

Unfortunately at this time we do not have a physician available in Oregon. By completing a physical examination with one of our affiliated physicians, you are fulfilling the requirements of the RHA.

Hello Dawgfan,

We currently do not show any delays in shipping with the Direct Pharmacy Service. If you are waiting on a prescription from your consulting physician, we send shipping labels to all physicians who have telephone consultations scheduled for the next day in advance. So please give us a call if you are still waiting, because regardless of which option you have chosen there should be little to no wait.

How about sw Washington? I need to find a good doctor to see. Do the doctors take insurance?

What records need to be faxed, I work and live in Boston; is there a doctor available? Also I have a burst eardrum that I was in the ER last night and they prescribed me 12 tynenol-3. Neither works very well, I was wondering what my best bet is?

So anyway, anyone used the service successfully in past two weeks? In SC I mean specifically,

I would be interested in hearing if folks are getting responses from customer service, either phone or e-mail nationwide as well.

Hello AngelikaJ,

Unfortunately at this time we do not work with any physicians in Washington and Insurance is not accepted.

Hello Cjspoe,

The closest physician to you would be our physician in RI. He is approximately one hour and a half away from you. Your records need to be at least one page showing what your condition is and who previously treated you or you can fax in more including diagnostic testing. The minimum though is something showing what your condition is.

Hello Groucho_Fan,

Yes we are available; please let us know if we can be of assistance. You can contact us M-F 9-4 at the contact information listed below.
