Neice uses 90-day prescription for ADHD med Ritalin. 90-days can only be done through mail-in pharmacy through her insurance–it has worked this way for Cigna, United Health and Aetna insurance.

Her mom mails in the prescription for her 4 weeks early. They will fill mail order scripts earlier than walk-in pharmacy and if u stay on strict schedule u can get ahead on supply–pills arrive in 10-14 days

First time they did this they had both a 30-day script to fill locally and a 90-day one to mail away.

In most cases my Neice still has pills delivering to home address because it works out that she’s home often enough to give them to her. One time they did have them sent to her dorm freshman year because her parents were traveling.

I know the Dr can electronically submit a 90-day prescription directly to the mail-in pharmacy, but don’t know regulations on controlled substances.
