Prescription refills
If you need a prescription refill, please call your pharmacy to request it. If your pharmacist has any questions, they will contact Ochsner. Make sure the pharmacy sends your refill request to Ochsner at least three to five working days before you run out of your medication. If we don't get the notice in time, we can't promise your refill will be ready before you use up your current supply. Ochsner Cardiology will only refill your cardiac medications. Other medications will be referred to your primary care physician for refill authorization.
Lab and test results
Many of our patients come back to the office to go over their test results with the doctor. If your test results are not normal, you will usually get a call from us within three to seven working days, or even sooner. If we can't reach you by phone, we will send you a letter. Results that are "normal" will be talked about during your next appointment with the doctor.
