Ask your insurance for a list of the local pharmacies they approve. Then call them to ask about their policies for refilling times on your meds BY NAME. Like how soon before the refill date you can call to request the refill. Also check with them if any of them are Controlled Substances, and what Category it is for rules on them. Controlled Substances are much harder to get refilled. Lacosamide/Vimpat as an example is a Controlled Substance, C-V. I can't pick it up before exactly 30 days from my last pick up, and I cant request refills more than 5 days in advance because that's Walmart's policy, and only because its more for checking the doctors all renewed the prescription. I hope that helps. I had to deal with refill problems a lot when I first had a Controlled Substance. Its usually not about the diagnosis.
