Refilling Prescriptions Early
What’s the earliest you can refill a prescription?
Attempting early refills can suggest exceeding proper dosage or stockpiling. Insurers may allow up to 7 days ahead on 30-pill prescription, or 21 days on 90-day supply. If refused, pharmacist contacts physician or insurer directly.
Refills may be allowed once approximately 75% of the previous fill used, about 7 days early on 30-day supply. On 90-day supply, usually 21 days early. Some insurers allow pharmacy staff to enter override code for vacation or dosage increase.
Prescription refill rules are in place for patient safety and to control costs. All health plans are bound to rules but exceptions are possible for emergencies with additional applications.
