Refill and renewal checker
Enter your last fill date, days supply, and refills remaining to see when your next fill opens and whether a clinician has to review the prescription again first.

Optional. Adding it lets the tool tell you how Temi would route this medication.
Some medications are scheduled in certain states and unscheduled in others, so this changes the answer.
The day your pharmacy last dispensed this medication.
When a prescriber last reviewed and authorized this prescription, which is not the same as your last pickup.
What you need next

Add both dates to see your timing
The tool needs your last fill date and the date a prescriber last reviewed this prescription. Both are on your pharmacy label or in your pharmacy app.
Timing only. This tool does not request anything, and it cannot see your pharmacy's fill history or a hold your prescriber placed.
A refill and a renewal are not the same thing.
A refill is your pharmacy dispensing again under a prescription a clinician already authorized. A renewal is a clinician reviewing your care and writing a new one. You need a renewal when your refills run out, when enough time has passed since the last review, or when your prescriber asked to see you again. This tool estimates timing for non-controlled medications. It does not request anything on your behalf.
Methodology
- How this is calculated
- The refill window opens on your last fill date plus your days supply, minus a seven-day early window. The clinical review comes due one year after your last review. If you have no refills left, or the review date has passed, the answer is a renewal even when the refill window is open, because a pharmacy cannot dispense without a current authorization.
- Where the data comes from
- The seven-day window and the one-year review interval are common practice for non-controlled prescriptions, not Temi policy: Temi does not run your pharmacy counter. The medication routing is Temi's own, though. Naming a medication runs it through the same controlled-substance screen and the same intake routing Temi's refill flow uses, so the answer here matches what you would see there.

- What this does not account for
- Your pharmacy's actual fill history. Insurance refill-too-soon rules, which Temi never touches since Temi is cash-pay. A hold your prescriber placed on the prescription. A shorter review interval your prescriber set. A pharmacy that dispenses earlier or later than the common window.
The distinction people actually get stuck on
Most people asking about refill timing are not really asking when the pharmacy will dispense. They are about to find out at the counter that there is nothing left to dispense. Refills run out, or the authorization behind them expires, and either one turns a routine pickup into a wait for a clinician. Knowing which of the two you are in is the difference between a five-minute errand and a week without your medication.
That is why the result names the outcome before it names a date. A date on its own does not tell you whether anyone needs to review anything first.
What a renewal costs on Temi
A renewal of an eligible non-controlled medication is $15, or $0 and unlimited with Temi Care. You still pay your own pharmacy for the medication itself, any way you like, including with insurance. A medication Temi has not reviewed before as an ongoing therapy is still a renewal if you are already taking it. A new course of an antibacterial is not: those are reviewed as new prescriptions at $79, because a prescriber needs onset, prior courses, and red flags before writing one. The fee is always shown before you commit.
What Temi will not renew
Controlled medications. Temi holds no DEA registration, so no Temi physician can write one, and there is no exception to ask about. A few medications are unscheduled federally but scheduled by individual states, gabapentin being the common one, so the same name can be renewable in one state and refused in the next. That is why the tool asks where you live before it answers.
Need the renewal, not just the date?
A licensed physician reviews your prescription and sends it to the pharmacy you already use. You keep paying your pharmacy for the medication.
A licensed physician reviews every request. Nothing on this page is a prescription.
