Can I Have ADHD Medicine Prescription?

I just moved and do not have a PCP yet. I am severly ADHD and am almost out of my script. My old dr from out of town said he cannot refill me without me coming in which of course is now impossible. Do you provide online services for ADHD and medication management. I am currently taking Adderall IR 10mg, Thanks!

Physicians on this network have no way of prescribing medications. You will have to search for another network where such a service is available or simply choose a primary doctor as quickly as possible in order to go in and get a prescription. Even if prescriptions were able to be offered by this network you would still not likely get one since medications for ADHD are controlled. That means the patient is required to present IN PERSON to a doctor's office, pick up a handwritten script and carry it to the pharmacy with the original signature of the doctor (no electronic or automated signatures allowed and no call in or electronic prescribing are accepted for such controlled drugs).
