The answer is clearly C) Quantity. I mean, who doesn't know that 90 divided by 30 days is 3? Insurance companies must have some serious math issues.

Indication? What is this, a mystery novel? The insurance just wants the facts, ma'am.

Quantity? Come on, who can't count to 90? Well, maybe the insurance company needs to invest in some better arithmetic skills.

NDC number, huh? I bet the pharmacist just grabbed the wrong bottle and scanned the wrong code. Rookie mistake!

Days supply, definitely. The insurance company is all about that precise data. Gotta get those numbers right!

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be C) Quantity. Maybe the pharmacy dispensed too many tablets at once.

I agree with Staci. The patient received 90 tablets one month ago, so the days supply must have been calculated incorrectly.
