For C-II partial filling for anyone, partial fills may be dispensed up to how many days from the first fill?

• A. 15 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 45 days
• D. 60 days

Answer: (B)

Partial filling of a C-II prescription is allowed to accommodate dispensing when the full quantity can’t be supplied at once, but there’s a strict time limit. For a patient who is not in a long-term care facility and is not terminally ill, the partial fills must be completed within 30 days of the date on the prescription, and the total dispensed cannot exceed what was prescribed. If the remaining quantity can’t be filled within those 30 days, a new prescription is needed. The 60-day window applies only to those special cases (long-term care or terminal illness). So the 30-day limit is the correct rule for “anyone.”
