lookup_chronic_prescription_rule
Determine if an ICD-10 code or disease name is eligible for Taiwan NHI chronic-disease continuous-prescription and retrieve its dispensing limits (max days per dispense, total days, validity).
Instructions
Look up Taiwan NHI chronic-disease continuous-prescription (慢性病連續處方箋) rules. Given an ICD-10 code or a disease name, returns whether the condition falls within the official chronic-disease scope and its dispensing limits — maximum days per dispense, maximum total medication days, and prescription validity. Use when an agent needs to know if a diagnosis qualifies for a continuous prescription and the applicable day limits. Reference only — the issuing physician must confirm the patient's condition is stable and that the same long-term medication applies, per the official 全民健康保險醫療辦法 慢性病範圍.
