If a non-controlled prescription has a PRN refill written for a 30-day supply, how many refills can you give to the patient?

Non-controlled prescriptions are valid for a year from the date of issue. If the prescription is written with a PRN for a 30-day supply, you may dispense up to 12 thirty-day supplies in that year. The initial fill isn’t counted as a refill, so the number of refills you can provide within the 12 months is 11. After completing those 12 months, a new prescription would be needed.
