Controlled Substance Policy beginning 6/1/18
Patients requesting controlled substance prescriptions (any script that requires pick up from the office) now require 3 business days. If you are unsure if your medications fall into this category you can call the office or click this link, Definition of Controlled Substance Schedules. The State of Michigan’s new law now requires the office to run MAPS (what_is_maps_and_why) on all patients who receive a controlled substance prescription. This takes time and will make it impossible to do same day prescriptions for patients.
Please keep this in mind when wanting to pick up a prescription during an office visit, or while in the neighborhood. Please make requests to the office 3 business days prior to the date you wish to pick up the prescription, either by phone or through our portal.
