Continuity is an essential part of effective psychiatric care. At Washington Interventional Psychiatry, our refill process helps established patients maintain their prescribed treatment plans while ensuring appropriate clinical oversight.
Patients may request medication refills through our office or directly through their pharmacy. We encourage patients to submit refill requests at least 3–5 business days in advance to allow adequate time for review and processing.
In some cases, our administrative team may ask that you schedule a follow up with your physician at the time of your refill request. Periodic visits allow your doctor to monitor treatment effectiveness, adjust medications when needed, and ensure your care remains safe and appropriate.
For patients prescribed controlled medications, psychiatrists typically require follow-up visits every 1–3 months, depending on the medication and clinical circumstances.
Please note that refill requests may not be processed outside of normal business hours or on weekends and holidays. Refills may also be delayed if a recommended follow-up appointment is overdue. Any decision to delay or modify a refill is made only by your treating psychiatrist as part of appropriate clinical care, not by administrative staff.
