your doctor can shorten that period by the way he writes the prescription because insurance companies cannot tell a doctor how to write a prescription....yet.

And, of course, don't submit it for insurance coverage.

I have encountered the problem of having to use the albuterol inhaler a bit more often than normal during a given month. I've gone to the pharmacy to buy another, and was told the insurance company would not pay for it because they said I should only use a certain number of puffs in a certain number of days.

Insurance companies don't always pay for refills, no matter what the doctor says or writes.

I have a prescription for a certain medication. After using it for 2 months my insurance company would not pay for a refill without reviewing all the records my doctor had. I got a letter last week stating that after reviewing my records they will pay for the drug for the next year and then another review will be necessary.

I went without the meds for a couple days and was to the point that I was going to pay whatever it cost to refill it without the insurance coverage.

I also use bioidentical hormones that require a prescription. My insurance company will not pay for them because they say cheaper alternatives are available.
