Re: New formulary response

[Guest guest]

Well here is the response I got:

Thank you for your online inquiry. When you are ready to refill your

prescriptions, you may request them when they are eligible for

processing. However, if you wait too long to order, your prescription

may expire before you are able to order. The date of expiration

depends on what the medication is and the issue date of the

prescription. Any refills remaining on an expired prescription are

invalid. If this is the case, then a new prescription will need to be

received. Please contact us again with the prescription number of the

medications in question so that we may advise you of their expiration

dates. If you have any questions or require assistance, please

contact us again by following this link:

So I am checking on the expiration date and that if I let it pass all

I need is a new prescription (and also added sorry for all the

questions but this is my first mail order prescription.)

Okey dokey here is their response (which is good information for

anyone with a prescription):

Thank you for your online inquiry. By governmental regulation,

prescriptions for most medications will expire one year from the date

issued by the physician. Once expired, any unused refills are no

longer valid, and the prescription will then need to be renewed by

your physician's office.

hmm I wonder if I should ask does that mean that for any prescription

that everyone needs to get a renewel from their Dr after 1 year?!??!

Blech. Probably goes along with the privacy laws. Nah sounds like it.

So tonight I will make a handy list of when they expire.
