My insurance company will only pay for one month of my pain killer so in order

7. In country or out of country?

In country, a refill will be honored by whatever chain your scrip is filled at. Insurance might even pay for it.

Out of country pharmacies will generally honor a legal US prescription refill, although you might need to visit a doc to get it rubber stamped (the odds go up if it's something like MS Contin). You'll have to pay for it but foreign prices are typically a lot cheaper than ours.

This came up for me when I was stuck in Florida for a few months when my dad died. I had no problem at a chain, they just called the local pharmacy to verify I hadn't prefilled the scrip. I've also refilled it in Mexico but had to pay for it. Oh, yeah, it was cheaper.
