My doctor's office pushes really hard for me to set up a physical if I haven't been in recently and need prescription refills. This includes for allergy and asthma medication, which I have used as-needed since I was a child. This started happening around a decade ago; before that, it was never a problem to have the pharmacy call the doctor's office for the refills, and that was that.

I would schedule my next physical when I'd leave the office, but then they started telling me that they couldn't schedule anything more than 6 months out. I waited, and when I tried to finally schedule the physical they couldn't see me for 9 months. So now I order the medicine from India.
