I am currently taking 9 separate meds. It seems like I am getting a
prescription filled daily. It would be nice if I could make the same
day of each month meds day.

When I get a new med I should be able to get a partial to last me until
the same day of each month. This would allow me to get all my meds
filled the same day every month. This would save time and fuel. It
would also benefit mail orders.

Good idea? How could I make it happen for everyone?

I'd suggest you ask your pharmacist. It's quite possible that the
person filling your medicine orders would be able to make this
coordination.

I did this by carefully spreading out when I took certain pills,
skipping some doses, until I got all my prescriptions to expire at the
same time. Now, I make one phone call a month to re-order and wait two
days (in case they have to call the doctor or get supplies in) and
pick them all up in one trip. Makes life a little more manageable.
