Refill Limits
Captions available
The idea
Federal rules limit refills on controlled-substance prescriptions.
In practice
Prescriptions for schedule three and four substances cannot be filled or refilled more than six months after they were issued, or refilled more than five times.
Where people slip
Refill decisions belong to the provider; route every controlled-substance refill request to them.
