Why Do I Need a Video Consultation for My Medication Refill and How Can I Schedule One?
Fridays requires periodic video consultations with your provider to ensure your treatment remains safe, effective, and compliant with updated medical protocols. This step provides an opportunity for healthcare providers to assess your health progress, discuss any medication adjustments, and address your concerns. Below is an in-depth explanation of why video consultations might be necessary and how to schedule one through the Fridays patient portal.
Why Is a Video Consultation Required for Medication Refills?
Several factors may require a video consultation:
Subscription Type: Depending on your subscription plan, you may need a video visit for some or all medication refills. For instance, patients in maintenance mode or with a three-month upfront subscription may still require periodic consultations.
Regulatory and Safety Updates: Recent medical regulations and updates to subscription protocols may mandate consultations for continued medication refills. This ensures that treatment plans are current and address any changes in health or medication needs.
New Medication Formulations: For medications with new formulations or FDA updates, a video consultation is often required to discuss changes and ensure the patient is informed about the updated prescription.
Prescription Management: For patients transitioning between medications (e.g., switching to branded or compounded medications) or adjusting dosages, consultations are necessary to determine the best course of action.
Missed Visits or System Requirements: In cases where no successful visit is on record, the system may require rescheduling a video consultation before approving further refills.
