How To Update My Dispensation Allotments?

To request a change to the dispensation limits in a category you must reach out to your recommending physician and they will submit an electronic form called "Request for Exception" within the registry. They will help you update and decide how much it changes to and where those change requests can be made. Until the new dispensation allotment has been approved you must follow the current state approved limits.

Contact your recommending physician for more information.
