Patent number: 8489422Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for processing phone-in prescription requests. The apparatus is in the form of a prescription processing network that includes a prescription processing system and a communication device remotely located from the prescription processing system. The communication device is used to establish a communication channel with the prescription processing system and submit a prescription request over the communication channel. A pharmacist, associated with the prescription processing system, prepares a completed prescription form based, at least in part, on the submitted prescription request. The prescription processing network also includes a pharmacy for receiving the completed prescription form, and filling the prescription request based on the completed prescription form.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2011Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Medco Health Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Diana L. Kosinski, Mark W. Sullivan, Steven M. McNamara, Melissa Russo
