The prescription says S. 2 x 1, so that covers both boxes. Do I have to grab both boxes all at once, or can I pick up one now, let them log it, and then come back for the second one once I'm through the first?]
I can tell you from experience: you can't. Once a prescription is processed, it goes straight to Medicare and that's that. If you only take one box, the pharmacy processes it as one box and sends the info to Medicare. The only catch is that pharmacies and doctors aren't perfectly synced yet, so your doctor won't actually know you only grabbed one. To her, it looks like you took both, which should cover you for two months. It might cause a headache when you go back for more later, but that depends entirely on how your doctor handles things.😛😛
