Do you need a referral?
If your insurance is an HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit. Please coordinate this with your primary care physician in advance.
Appointments will be rescheduled if required referrals are not received in the office by the time of your visit.
Prescription requests?
Prescriptions and refills for established patients of Dr. Verdugo are routinely issued during our regular office hours (see above). You can make your request by calling our office at (806) 810-3610.
No refills are issued during the evenings, weekends, or holidays, as the doctors do not have access to your medical records during those times. It is helpful to anticipate your refill needs to avoid an interruption in your medication therapy.
