Considering the coming Lunar New Year holiday lasts for 10 days, the NHIA allows chronic-illness patients to refill their prescription earlier in order to ensure their health.

If your chronic-illness prescription can be refilled from May 20 to May 29, 2023, you are allowed to refill your prescription or go back to your doctor from January 10, 2023.

This measure is to secure chronic patients' health, avoiding an interruption of taking medicines during the Lunar New Year.
