[quote=Anonymous]What do you do to stay on top of prescription refills?  I have to keep track of dozens. They are all through CVS pharmacy, and we do have the online portal but maybe I'm not using it to its best advantage?

We do get a 90 day supply, usually, and automatic refill, usually, but I'm still being caught short and often it seems on a 3 day weekend or something. Sometimes we need to see a doctor to get a refill and that can't be done last minute, they are booked weeks out now. Waiting on the phone takes forever too so trying to avoid being caught short.

Help me think of the easiest system. I'm trying to use Google Calendar to keep track of everything (I am very disorganized) but if I add over a dozen prescription refills to the calendar it will get very cluttered and cumbersome.

But maybe that's the best?

Sept 1:    picked up 90 day supply of XYZ prescription $1234567 prescribed by Dr D.   
So note Nov 1 (60 days) make sure refill is in the works...and note Dec 1 -- pick up new order of XYZ?

If on Sept 1, the medications information says "No refills available do you want us to call the doctor" -- THAT is when I need to find out if there will be an issue with refilling it and will need an appointment?[/quote]
