Description

Number of days that the medication supports based on the number of doses as reported by the pharmacist. This amount is typically found on the dispensings record. It should not be necessary to calculate this variable for use in the SCDM. Positive integer values are expected. Note: Rollback transactions and other adjustments that are indicative of a dispensing being canceled or not picked up by the member should be processed before populating this table. This may be handled differently by Data Partners and may be affected by billing cycles.
