How Does Filling A 30 Day Supply Work With A Leap Year?

Updated

i went to my dr and had my prescription filled on febuary 29th. I have an appt to go to the dr on march 24th due to scheduling conflict. When should i drop off the prescription to be filled? I know that the 24th is too soon. That was the only day i could get in with my schedule, so getting it filled on that day isn't the question. I'm just wondering how that would work?

Hello, Happy! How are you?

You still need to wait until the 29th or 30th day to have it filled, according to your pharmacy's policy, as detailed by the NIH.

Leap year adds one day, so you can likely get it filled one day sooner than the last date it was filled.

Is there anything else I can help with?

My prescription was filled on Feb.17 and now counting the two extra days for leap year I counted 30 supply to me ready March 19 ,and usually am able to pick it up 1-2 days before the 30 day ,but now I'm being told I can't pick up my meds til the 21!? Does that sound right?

Monica, Did you look at the prescription before you turned it in ? It may have something to do with your insurance. You might want to call the pharmacy and ask to speak with the Pharmacy Manager and ask them about it.
