Next Fill Quantity

Next Fill Quantity is used for making a change to the quantity that will be dispensed for the next fill if different from the first fill. For example, if the initial fill of a prescription is dispensing 30 tablets and the next fill is dispensing 90 tablets.

To use Next Fill Quantity:

  1. In Rx Detail, select the Extended tab.
  2. Under the Prescription section, either
    • Enter the amount to be dispensed for the next fill in the Next Fill Qty field.
    • Enter the number of days the prescription will be refilled for in the Days Supply field.
  3. Select Fill.

For the next refill, the Qty will auto-populate based on the Next Fill Qty or Days Supply field entered in the initial fill.

Note: When a DB patient starts a new medication, Next Fill Qty is often used to comply with Initial Days Supply rules for chronic medications.
