The connection to Surescripts also allows for electronic routing of controlled substance prescription refill requests, which physicians can receive through their office computer instead of their fax machine. Refill authorizations, or denials, can then be electronically communicated back to the pharmacy with just a few clicks of a computer mouse, thereby eliminating the repeated need for back and forth faxes and phone calls associated with the traditional refill process. New prescriptions can also be routed directly to pharmacy computers before a patient ever leaves their physician’s office. Prescribers can now also cancel a prescription that has been already transmitted to the pharmacy.
