I just got an email today from my doctor that there will be a charge of $25 for prescription renewals when requested by the pharmacy effective... at the beginning of this month (retroactively?).
Katy and I just renewed five prescriptions this way yesterday.
It's been a morning of interesting and stressful phone calls.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •too many people try to avoid calling the doc by letting the pharmacy do it and some docs are inundated by the e requests.
It's easier on everyone if you can try to get all prescriptions updated during your doc visit.

in reply to e bored • •@e bored Sure, but up until this point that was the way he specifically told us to do it.
The thing that's changed is that he can no longer bill OHIP* for these renewals.
