objections

    response: Review the dose tier and medication route: branded medication is billed separately and compounded medication has a two-month minimum.
  • objection: Is the treatment appropriate for me?
    response: A licensed physician reviews the patient's information and decides whether to prescribe; a request does not guarantee medication.
