It is important to notify, but you are not obliged to do so
If you have a doctor or nurse practitioner that you see on an ongoing basis, it is important that you tell them about all medications you are taking, including any medications we prescribe for you.
To make this convenient for you, we can email you a summary of your treatment so you can give it to your doctor or nurse practitioner that way your health records will be complete.
- Under HIPAA, which protects your medical information, you are not required to share out-of-pocket treatment information with your treating physician, but as noted above, it may be important if you are prescribed another medication so that it will not have contraindications.
