About Group Medication Visits

• Group Medication Visits are for patients who want to:
  • Try a new drug (e.g., low dose naltrexone)
  • Need a refill for the drug
  • Want to increase the dose of the drug
  

• Topics:
  • There are 10 different topics (2 topics per week usually)
  • The topics repeat every 5 to 6 weeks
  • See below for a list of topics
  
  Format:
  • 1 hour group sessions
  • 20 minute presentation on the medication(s)
  • 40 minutes of Q&A
  • At the end of the session, patients should be able to determine if it is the right medication for them
  • Patients then email Bruno (for Dr. Arseneau) or Pamela (for Dr. McKay) to request the medication within 1 day
  • The doctor will write a note and send you and your doctors a copy of the note
  • The doctor will fax a prescription to your pharmacy
  • The patient will receive a copy of the presentation slides
  • The patient will download a detailed information sheet about the medication (Resources --> Medication Handouts)
  

• Note:
  • Although these group visits are available to all patients in our practice, ONLY patients who have had their individual visit with one of our doctors will be able to get a prescription. Patients who have not had an individual visit can participate for education/information.

NOTE: for MSP billing, please register as LAST NAME, FIRST NAME (as it appears on your Care Card)
