When is my child too old to see a pediatrician?

My child is out of prescription refills, what do I do?
Request a refill through the pharmacy you use. If unable, contact our office to request a refill by calling (208) 667-0585 and selecting prescription refills.
Refills of chronic medications can be obtained by talking to a nurse. When you place this call please tell the receptionist that your call is for a prescription refill. The nurse will then call you to discuss your child’s medical condition. Most refills are sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choosing.
Controlled substance types of refills require 24 hour notice. If you need your refill of a controlled substance prior to 24 hours you can request an expedited refill.
Persons picking up a controlled substance must be over the age of 18 and provide picture identification prior to receiving the prescription.

Can I get this form signed? Or how do I get copies of my child's records?
We would be happy to sign that for you. Forms can be dropped off at any one of our offices with a completed request form that any one of our receptionists would be glad to provide for you. Please allow 5-7 business days for completion. A medical release form needs to be completed for all medical records. This can be obtained from our Forms page. There may be a charge for medical records. View our complete Records Request Policy.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) for payment.
Payment is due at the time of service for all patient-responsible amounts, including co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles, or the full balance if you do not have insurance, unless prior arrangements have been made. As a courtesy, our office will file claims with your insurance company on your behalf at no additional charge.
If you need to make other arrangements you may contact our billing department at (208) 762-4586, this would need to be prior to your appointment.
