Getting your medical prescription filled can sometimes feel like more work than it's worth. You have to get the prescription, bring it to the pharmacy, wait in a long line, and possibly come back the next day to get it filled. Now, your time can be saved by using an E-Prescription.
E-Prescription An E-prescription is a prescription that is sent from your doctor's office directly to a pharmacy. Doctors, dentists, eye specialists or any prescriber of medicine can now send an electronic version of your prescription to your pharmacy through a secure internet site or an electronic fax. The pharmacist will receive your prescription order before you even leave the doctor's office. Now, no more long waits. Most likely, your prescription will be ready for you when you reach the pharmacist's office. Medical Information Safety E-prescriptions were designed with the safety of patients in mind. Because the prescription information is sent through secured channels, you don't have to worry about your medical information being stolen. In fact, your information is much more secure with the doctor sending it directly to the pharmacist than you carrying the prescription between medical offices. Also, since the information is sent directly from your medical provider to the pharmacist there is much less risk of a medication error. Conclusion Avoid the long waits and get your prescription safely through an E-prescription.
