Quantity Limits and Early Refills

Quantity Limits

Quantity limits have been established by CVS Caremark for certain drugs based on the approved dosing limits established during the FDA approval process. Your provider must submit a prior authorization request form to CVS Caremark for approval of amounts that exceed the established quantity limit.

Early Refills

There are some circumstances when a participant will be allowed to obtain an early refill of a prescription drug for purposes such as going on vacation, for a dosage change during the course of a treatment, or for lost or destroyed medication. The participant's pharmacist may contact CVS Caremark to obtain authorization for an early refill or advance supply of a medication. Early refills are limited to two refills per medication per 12 months.
