❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Prescription Refills

When should I refill my 30-day prescription?
For a 30-day prescription, you should refill 5-7 days before your current supply runs out. Most insurance allows refills at 75-80% of days supply (day 22-24 of a 30-day supply). Use our calculator above to get your exact refill date.
How does a 90-day prescription refill work?
A 90-day prescription provides a 3-month supply, often through mail-order pharmacy. Insurance typically allows refills at 75-80% (day 68-72). This saves money and reduces pharmacy trips. Select '90-day supply' in the calculator above.
How early can I refill my prescription?
Most insurance and pharmacies allow refills when 75-80% of your current supply is used. For 30-day supply: day 22-24. For 90-day supply: day 68-72. Controlled substances have stricter rules (2-3 days early only).
What is the difference between 30-day and 90-day refills?
30-day supply: Monthly refills, retail pharmacy, higher copay per fill. 90-day supply: 3-month supply, mail-order preferred, lower overall cost (20-30% savings), fewer pharmacy trips. Many insurance plans encourage 90-day for maintenance medications.
How do I calculate my prescription refill date?
Enter your last fill date, days supply (30 or 90), and daily dosage. The calculator automatically shows: supply end date, earliest refill date, and days remaining. Set a reminder 5-7 days before your refill date.
What happens if I refill my prescription too early?
Insurance may deny payment for early refills (before 75-80% of days supply used). Pharmacies can fill early but you may pay full cash price. Controlled substances have strict limits - refilling too early may flag your record.
