Days supply shenanigans
Get a prescription for 90 of sertraline for one of my patients, one tablet daily. Now a lot of plans are starting to allow 90 day supplies, so we typed it for 90 and see what happens.
G9: Pharmacy Not Contracted In 90 Day Network
[MAX DAYS SUPPLY ALLOWED IS 83]
Eighty three? Well that's random, but whatever floats your boat. 360
Retyped for 83, and this happened:
76: Plan Limitations Exceeded
[QUANTITY LIMITS APPLY]
[ALLOW QT 60.000]
grumble snarf I tell my tech "OK, put it in for 60. What do you want to bet they'll say 30 next time?" ... sure enough:
7X: Days Supply Exceeds Plan Limitation
[MAX DAYS SUPPLY ALLOWED IS 30]
Now why couldn't you say that in the first place?
(OK, I can see that quantity limits and days supply limits aren't the same thing, but its still annoying.) 760
