Yes, on some medications there is a quantity limit. Most of our benefit plans follow the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations for what is the safe and effective dose for medications. For example, certain medications to treat migraines have recommended limits for the number of pills to take per day and the number of treatments per month. The maximum amount you will be able to receive is the maximum recommended dose approved by the FDA for a 34-day supply.
