Understanding the terms on your Mendo invoice is important for decoding the relevant details about your purchase. Two terms that frequently appear on these invoices are 'DGE' and 'Total DGE,' which relate to the quantity of substances purchased. Below, we break down their definitions and clarify their significance so you can better understand their purpose on your invoice.
What Is 'DGE'?
'DGE' stands for Dried Gram Equivalency. This term is used to represent the equivalent weight in grams of dried product (or its equivalent in other forms) that has been purchased. This terminology helps standardize quantities across different types of products.
What Is 'Total DGE'?
'Total DGE' refers to the total grammage of items in your order - specifically, the combined weight of all items in grams. The Total DGE summarizes the total dried gram equivalency for everything purchased in a single transaction.
Is 'Total DGE' Related to the Invoice Charge?
No, Total DGE is not directly related to the invoice charge. Instead, Total DGE is a measure of the quantity or usage of your Medical Rx Allotment that has been reflected on the receipt. It indicates how much of your prescription limit was used for the order rather than determining the cost or price charged.
Conclusion
In summary, 'DGE' and 'Total DGE' are measurement terms that provide clarity on the quantity of items purchased. While their figures are vital for tracking usage against your prescription, they do not influence the charge on the invoice. Understanding these terms helps you better interpret your invoices and manage your prescription limits effectively.
