  • System and method for patient prescription verification
    Patent number: 11742066
    Abstract: A system to verify the identity of a recipient requesting fulfillment of a prescription for a pharmaceutical product includes a point-of-sale retail personal identification number entry device (pinpad) and a workstation that stop a transaction for the pharmaceutical product from proceeding in response to a request associated with a claim for dispensing the pharmaceutical product. A first input for data identifying a member of a rewards program is entered with the pinpad, and a second input for data identifying a recipient of the prescription is entered with the workstation. The workstation compares the data identifying the member of the rewards program against the data identifying the recipient of the prescription. If there is a match between the data identifying the member of the rewards program and the data identifying the recipient of the prescription, the pinpad and workstation allow the transaction for the pharmaceutical product to proceed.
