> I swear up and down that the staff at my pharmacy know me by name (much to my chagrin), but they absolutely refuse to fill ahead of time-insurance or no insurance. They also insisted that the doctor couldn't call in to adjust does or date. I've had to go back to his office to get new scripts before if any change needed to me made.

New York has all sorts of restrictive laws when it comes to anything medical from what I can see, is one of those states with some sort of odd restriction on mail ordering something, etc. I suppose it comes from having a 9 million urban relatively progressive population juxtaposed against a small town conservative capitol. But NYC still is a great place to visit. :)
The restrictions on exactly 30 day supplies seem rather hardnosed, as I say, since some are 31 and one is 28 or 29. Additionally, most insurance companies will bend unless they're really pedantic if you need vacation medication. Its sort of in their interest to keep their patients safe and alive to get more copays.
