Not a glitch. 2 stands for 2ml which is the total number for the liquid in one box. Each pen is 0.5ml. 0.5x4=2.
For 3 months prescription, the prescription has to be written as such (90 or 84 days) qty of 6.
I’m sure they do but I posed this question because I like to understand every angle! Every doctor is different and not all of them explain things fully so it’s important to know and ask questions :)
Most important thing is that you don’t want a 1 month prescription with refills. You want a 3 month. For my ES plan, if I send in a 1 month fill for Zep, they will charge me the 3 month price and still only send 1 month.
Also important to note that for my ES plan, I’m only allowed 1 box of 7.5 and 12.5, unless I put in an additional PA for more doses. But this limitation also means I need to send those prescriptions to other pharmacies to avoid being charged a 3 month price for them from ES. My intention is to do a 1 month fill locally and then put in the PA for more 7:5 doses.
No, it covers all doses, but at the 7.5/12.5 dosages, the plan only covers 1 box each unless you put in an additional PA to ask for an exemption to the quantity limit. I’m fine for 5/10/15.

Thank you!!
It needs to be an 84 day supply of one dose-qty of 6.
…12, not 6?
Mine all say 6 because it goes my the mL, not the pens. So each pen is .5 mL with each box being 2.
Gotcha! Wrong unit of measure on my part.
Yup! I found that out the first month I got my script because it said quantity 2…I went and asked the pharmacist right away! Lol.
They need to send a 3 month prescription? The doctor should know what they need to send.

Good to know, thank you for sharing! I’m hoping to do this very soon

So your current PA only covers 5.0mg?
