A practical sequence

How to use the refill service center

The correct route depends on where the prescription is held and whether additional authorization is needed. Begin by identifying the prescription task rather than choosing a channel at random.

Have the prescription label nearby.
The prescription number, medication name, remaining refills, and pharmacy details help distinguish a routine refill from a renewal or transfer.

Identify the request

Decide whether this is a new prescription, an authorized refill, a renewal request, or a transfer from another pharmacy.

Choose the matching service

Use mail service, telephone refill, registration, or transfer instructions according to the prescription’s current status.

Verify the record

Check the medication, prescription number, patient details, delivery or pickup preference, and pharmacy contact information.

Follow the confirmation

Keep the confirmation details and use the pharmacy’s listed contact channel if the request cannot be completed as expected.

Prepare before you begin

Keep the right information within reach

01

Prescription record

Use the prescription number printed on the label and confirm that authorized refills remain before requesting another supply.

02

Patient details

Have the identifying information requested by the selected service available, but submit it only through the official form or telephone channel.

03

Delivery or pharmacy details

Confirm the current mailing address for delivery or the outside pharmacy information for a prescription transfer.

Prescription Refill

Patients with an existing prescription can use the refill service to submit their request for review. The request may require prescription details and other relevant patient information. A refill should only be provided when appropriate and in accordance with applicable prescribing and dispensing requirements.

Refill basics

New prescriptions, refills, and renewals are different requests

What is a new prescription?

A new prescription is written by a prescriber for a specific medication, quantity, and number of authorized refills. It may require review before the pharmacy can dispense it.

What is a refill?

A refill is an additional supply already authorized on the original prescription. The pharmacy can dispense it while authorized refills remain and the prescription is still valid.

What is a renewal?

A renewal is needed when a prescription has expired or has no authorized refills left. The prescriber must issue a new authorization before the pharmacy can continue dispensing it.

How do I know which service to use?

Use telephone refill for an existing authorized refill, mail-service registration before a first mail order, prescription transfer when another pharmacy holds the prescription, and the FAQ when you need to distinguish coverage or activation steps.

Choose the refill task that matches your prescription

Starting with the correct service reduces avoidable delays and keeps the prescription record connected to the right workflow.
