HLC participates with electronic prescribing directly to your pharmacy after your medical appointment. Our goal is to assist our members with their prescriptions in an efficient and timely manner. Prescription refills require close monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness. Our providers prescribe medications with refills that are intended to last until our team would like to see you for a follow up visit. This ensures that necessary labs are done and symptoms are consistently tracked. Refill guidelines If possible, schedule your follow up appointment at the end of your medical visit. If your long term medication is down to zero refills, call to schedule a follow up appointment to see your provider. Members can request an appointment through the calendar page of the Charm Portal or by calling HLC at 971-231-4536. Please do not reach out to providers individually regarding prescription refills. Please account for 48 business hours between your appointment request and the time you need to fill your prescription. It is important to keep your scheduled medical appointments to ensure that you receive timely refills. Repeated no shows and/or cancellations will result in a denial of refills. If you feel that your medication needs to be adjusted or changed for any reason, please contact us immediately. It is important to note that some medications may require a prior authorization. This process may involve several steps by both your pharmacy and your provider depending upon your insurance. As a result, it could take several days, weeks, or longer to receive the medication if it has been approved by your insurance plan. Prescriptions for controlled substances such as narcotics, ADD medications and sleep aids, require an office visit. Our providers participate in the Oregon Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. The intention behind this policy is to ensure consistency and efficiency of care and reduce stress and anxiety for our members, providers, and staff. Please send a message to the HLC Team if you have any questions or would like clarification.

Cancel your appointment by calling or sending a portal message at least 24 hours prior to your appointment if you need to cancel. This will allow time for the slot to be filled by another patient. We intentionally schedule longer appointment times to allow members to spend more time with their medical providers. If you miss your appointment without canceling 24 hours ahead of time (“no show”), you will be charged a sliding scale $50 cancellation/no show fee.This will need to be paid before you may schedule another appointment. Special exemptions are made for our members with CareOregon, in accordance with state law. You will not be charged this fee if you have CareOregon. First occurence: If you “no show”, or cancel with less than 24 hours notice, you will be required to provide a credit card number in order to schedule another appointment. On the second occurence of a “no show” or less than 24 hour cancellation, the missed appointment fee will automatically be collected on a sliding scale.
