Yep

Okay, I haven't experienced that yet.

The glitch seems to be if it's a 100-day refill, and you send it
to the pharmacy rather than doing a mail order, they often refill
it for only 30 days. I have not figured out why this is.

If it's a 30 day refill, there is no price advantage to refilling
by mail. Haven't figured that out either. But overall it's a good
system.
