Good rx?
I just called to make an apt with a new primary care because my insurance changed. I cant meet with any providers until October at the very earliest and it’s at a hospital an hour away.
When I asked how I’m supposed to get my maintenance medications in the mean time, the phone operator told me to go to urgent care to get a prescription for it ?
How is this advice that’s supposed to be given out by hospital telephone operators ?!
As a nurse, people using urgent care or emergency rooms for non-emergent matters are one of the most annoying/wasteful use of time and resources we encounter. It’s a huge waste of resources and takes time away from patients who actually need our care and beds in emergency and urgent care clinics.
Has anyone encountered this and how did you get a prescription for medications while you don’t have a primary care provider?
For reference, the two medications are birth control and an SSRI.
