My purse was stolen and my Klonopin tablets were in it. I filed a police report. i then called doctor and the nurse said it's against the law to replace the script or have them filled early, paying cash, with a refill I already have. Is this true? I'm reading and seeing that it's up to the doctor to replace only if tablets are stolen and there is a police report? Is it the law?
My meds were stolen. Doctor office says it's against the law to fill early. Is this true?

No. It would be easier to have the insurance company pay for then again and cover your doctors Arse if, you file a police report and have it on record. If, the pharmacy states the insurance company won’t fill allow it- it was miscommunication Bc if, medication has been stolen or accidentally destroyed or lost they have the obligation to pay for it. Your doctor just doesn’t want the hassle of sending a simple email with a new script and reason to your insurance. The pharmacy at times may process the wrong code and delay things- it happens.
File a report have the officer speak with your doctor if need be. I had to do that once before myself when, my meds were stolen after my concussion and the officer spoke to my doctor to understand that I was in fact telling the truth my doctor is the one who said I have been in her care for seven years without incident.
Your doctor needs to be more straight forward there’s no need to lie. You’re supposed to trust your doctor but, your doctor doesn’t trust you. Welcome to the new medical system.
I wish you the best and that it all works out.
Take care!

They can’t let you fill them early without your doctor and insurance explanation. You can’t pay cash for the fact you have insurance and it’s a controlled substance. It’s true you can’t just go refill another script nor pay cash for it because your insurance denied it. It’s a process but, it shouldn’t be very difficult if you follow the correct steps and don’t have a history in order for your doctor to doubt the truth. It’s only to dot I’s and cross T’s to cover their own arses rather than help you through this...

If, you take Klonopin regularly having a police report and your doctor does not file the claim. Go to the ER with the police report or the ER can call them to verify- they can check the toxicity of the benzodiazepines as well for more proof-
If, you are on a scheduled dose it’s negligence for the fact you may have a seizure as well as pain and suffering.
I didn’t realize there was more written of your question as you surely can tell. I apologize, I answered everything in pieces.
