Access to prescription medications is critical for people with disabilities and being able to have a longer-term supply is important during a public health crisis. Below is the latest information from NH Department of Health and Human Services:
90-Day Supplies
NH Healthy Families, Well Sense, and Medicaid Fee-for-Service all offer a 90-day supply of "maintenance" medications when purchased through their mail order pharmacies. “Maintenance” medications are medications taken on a daily basis to control chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, high cholesterol, and many other chronic conditions. AmeriHealth does not currently have this option, but is working on it.
Early Refills
For COVID-19 preparedness, Medicaid Fee-for-Service and all three MCOs are allowing an early refill over-ride so that you can get a one-month supply of medication early. There will be some limitations on how early you will be allowed to refill controlled substance prescriptions due to the high risk of overdose in New Hampshire. However, if you have less than a 14-day supply on hand, the refill will be authorized. The early refill is not automatic, and you will need to work with your pharmacist to request an early refill due to COVID-19.
