Question

How many days is the pharmacy allowed to provide partial fill on a CII for long term facility patient? And can fill up to how many pills a time?

Answer 1

In a long-term care facility, the pharmacy can provide partial fills on a CII prescription for up to 60 days. Each partial fill can be for any amount, as long as the total quantity dispensed does not exceed the total quantity prescribed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a long-term care facility, the pharmacy is allowed to provide partial fills on a Schedule II (CII) prescription for up to 60 days from the date written. This is known as a partial fill allowance.

Each partial fill can be for any amount that the prescriber deems appropriate for the patient's needs, but the total quantity dispensed must not exceed the total quantity prescribed.
