My prepay certificate ends 18 days before my 60th birthday. Assuming I manage to eek out my meds til my birthday, or the day after, will I automatically be entitled to free prescriptions? Thanks in advance😘

Depending on how many lots of meds you have until that time, you could think about ordering each lot slightly early so you can have one last lot just before the PPC ends so you don't have to worry about making them last.
