BMP every 6–12 months — potassium and sodium especially
When a Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) bridge refill is appropriate
You've been on the same dose of Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for at least 6 months
Your dose hasn't been changed in the last 3 months
You're between primary care providers (moved, insurance change, PCP retired, or long new-patient wait)
You have your current prescription bottle or pharmacy printout
Any required monitoring labs are within the last 12 months
When we'd decline and refer you
You're requesting a dose change — that needs a full visit with your PCP, not a bridge
You've started Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) within the last 6 months
You've had new side effects, a recent hospitalization, or a significant change in symptoms
Monitoring labs are missing or more than 12 months old
Clinical note. Thiazide diuretic — often used as an adjunct to lisinopril or losartan. Can cause low potassium; recent labs matter.

If approved, your 90-day prescription is e-prescribed to your chosen pharmacy
