A patient should have no issues approaching their physician with the request. The process can even be expedited if the physician has an electronic submission setup. Mail-order prescriptions offer patients increased convenience, decreased cost, and in-person delivery — even in another state. The trade-off is that an adult must be present to sign for the package. Dodson, who is based in Colorado, said that about 20 percent of his patients lived in other states. He frequently sent mail-order prescriptions to patients with addresses in Florida and California.

While the great majority of prescribers should accommodate requests for a 90-day supply, some doctors, Dodson said, may overestimate the risk ofabuse and refuse to increase a patient’s prescription. A patient’s choices are limited in this situation, but mail-order prescriptions — even if only for 30-day supplies — are still a good way to ensure a steady supply of medicine while practicing social distancing.
