I/my dependents receive a controlled medication. Can we still use home delivery?
Yes, controlled medications are available through the home delivery pharmacy. The laws regulating the dispensing of controlled medications vary from state to state. Home delivery prescriptions are subject to dispensing laws where your home delivery facility is located even though the prescribing doctor wrote the prescription in another state. State controlled substance law limits the dispensing of Schedule II medications to a maximum of 30-day supply. A new written prescription is required for each dispensing and refills are not permitted. However, in certain circumstances, a prescription for such drugs may be dispensed for more than a 30-day supply, if the physician writes the diagnosis of the patient on the face of each prescription submitted. The maximum quantity Express Scripts is allowed to dispense even with the diagnosis, is a 90-day supply.
