Abstract: A method for refilling a prescription product for a patient. A patient is diagnosed with a medical condition requiring a prescription product such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system. At a predetermined time after delivery of the CPAP system, a provider forwards the patient a refill request postcard based upon the patient's particular CPAP system and insurance carrier's refill reimbursement policies. The patient executes and returns the postcard. The provider automatically processes the executed postcard, forwards the authorized refill products to the patient and obtains reimbursement from the patient's insurance carrier. The process continues, providing the patient with various authorized refill products, based upon the patient's insurance carrier's policies, until the refill authorization expires or the patient request cessation of delivery.
