DW doctor writes 3 postdated scripts as mentioned above and found in the link.
In addition, refills are not allowed with Schedule II drugs and many states and insurance companies only allow you to get up to a month’s worth on a single prescription. But your doctor can write multiple prescriptions for a total of up to 90 days worth—for example, three 30-day prescriptions—with instructions to the pharmacist to fill them sequentially. If you need to take the drug for longer than three months, though, you’ll need to go back to your doctor for another prescription.
If your doctor will not do this, it is not the feds regulations but your doctor's own policy.
Did you have a frank talk to your doctor specifically addressing travel?
This is all correct but the problem is for example if traveling to California they will not accept a prescription unless it has the Cal. watermark on it.
So basically all this does is make honest people criminals!
So if traveling from home (CA) to Utah...... those three 30-day prescriptions—with instructions to the pharmacist to fill them sequentially might not work with a UT pharmacy?
That I can't tell you for sure. I just know it HAS to be a Cali prescription to be filled in Cali.
You can "ONE ONLY" at a time mail prescription to Express Scripts or the like about 10 days in advance and they can mail the pills to the location of your choosing.
DO NOT send all three, they are idiots and can loose the other two!
But the bottom line is this whole 3 month thing is a bunch of Barbra Streisand!!!
