How do I enter days supply in prescriptions and medications?

You can add the day's supply to prescriptions you send and medications you add to a patient's chart. The day's supply field is required for schedule II controlled substance prescriptions. Days supply can help reduce the pharmacy clarification rate and improve the accuracy of PDMP such as the Morphine Milligram Equivalent (MME) associated with each dispensing.

When you send a prescription, there is a Days Supply field for you to enter the supply for the medication.
