How the date is worked out
Start with today as day 0, then count 28 calendar days forward, including weekends and any leap day. Twenty-eight days is exactly four weeks, the length of many prescriptions and four-week billing cycles. Tick Count today as day 1 if your deadline includes today, which makes the answer one day earlier.
