For safety and cost reasons, plans may limit the quantity of prescription drugs that they cover over a certain period of time. For example, some people prescribed heartburn medication take 1 capsule per day for 4 weeks. Therefore, a plan may cover only an initial 30-day supply of the heartburn medication. Should you need more medication, you may need your doctor’s help in providing more information to extend the therapy.
