We are military and receive care and prescriptions through the military facility. My son's pediatrician writes a script for 90 days at a time unless we are trying a new dosage or new med.
I don't think this would have been allowed if there was a law to only allow 30 days at a time. It must just be a policy that your doctor has.
HTH
The final word from my insurance co. is they can dispense 90 through mail order on a co-pay but the Rx needs to be re-written every 90. Better than me going to retail every 30 and paying 30. MD wasn't aware that this would be allowed. Thanks to all who responded.Anyone know how much can legally be dispensed at once? I know it's controlled but I was wondering, since my Rx plan allows up to a 90 day supply with a co-pay, is it legal to dispense 90? I've received 2 different answers. My doctor said he can only write for a 30 day at a time. My Anthem Rx plan said, if they have the written Rx for 90, if the doctor calls them and tells them he wants to dispense 90, then they will. Some sort of prior authorization from the MD allows them to do this. Just trying to avoid paying 30 every 30 vs. 30 every 90. Thanks
