    PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL- Power outages and telephone failures have left patients scrambling to communicate with their physicians. The Palm Beach County Medical Society and Quantum Foundation have established a patient referral line to update on the status of doctor’s practices within the county.

    Patients can call 800-320-6010 and receive information on when their doctor anticipates opening and alternate contact information.

    Physicians who are experiencing phone difficulties, answering service failures and on going power outages should also contact the Medical Society at 561 832-6043 with status information.

    Under the Emergency Pharmacy Act, patients can receive medications for up to two weeks by presenting their prescription bottle. Insurance will be honored accordingly. Narcotics are exempt from this act.
