[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask the doctor to write a prescription for a higher daily dosage than you usually take.  This will not count as an early refill because the assumption will be that the total daily dosage is changing, not that you are getting extra pills.[/quote]

I think what PP means is if you take one pill per day, have the doctor make the scrip say '34 pills per 30 days'. 
Or, take 8 pills per week - so that you have one extra pill per week. 
My doctors do this for several scrips. One because I double up on the dose twice a week and one just to have a few extra pills per month for vacation time hoarding or in case you drop one in the toilet or whatever.

I'm supposed to take two patches of one medicine twice a week for two weeks out of the month.
The patches come in a box of 8. That would mean  12 patches in a 90 day period but there are 8 in a box so insurance refused to pay (cvs)
because they say you can't have part of a box.
So my doctor now says take two patches every week. So, that makes it 8 patches/month which is one box and 3 boxes for 90 days.
Insurance covers that because it's exactly three boxes for 90 days.
I just refill my scrip less often (but really sometimes those patches fall off so you need a fresh one sometimes so extra is good).[/quote]
