receiving, at the one or more processors, from a web-enabled device of a customer, over a network, an image of a new paper prescription for the customer, wherein the image of the new paper prescription is captured by a camera in the web-enabled device, and a customer identifier for the customer;
determining, by the one or more processors, a pharmacy at which to fill a new prescription order corresponding to the new paper prescription;
determining, by the one or more processors, prescription data based on the image of the new paper prescription, wherein the prescription data includes an identification of a prescriber who wrote or printed the new paper prescription;
comparing, by the one or more processors, a signature in the image of the new paper prescription to the one or more stored signatures associated with the prescriber;
determining, by the one or more processors, a first risk of prescription fraud based on the compared signatures;
determining, by the one or more processors, a location of the web-enabled device using a geolocation device included in the web-enabled device, a location of the pharmacy, and a location of the prescriber;
determining, by the one or more processors, a second risk of prescription fraud by assigning weights to a plurality of distances between the location of the web-enabled device, the location of the pharmacy, and the location of the prescriber and combining the plurality of distances and the assigned weights to generate a score indicative of the second risk of prescription fraud;
combining, by the one or more processors, the first and seconds risks of prescription fraud to generate an overall risk of prescription fraud;
when the overall risk of prescription fraud does not exceed a threshold amount of risk, transmitting, from the one or more processors and via the network, information to be displayed in an order review page on the web-enabled device; and
receiving, at the one or more processors, from the web-enabled device and via the network, a confirmation to submit the new prescription order, so that a medication corresponding to the new prescription order can be prepared at the determined pharmacy and provided to the customer.

Abstract
A method and system may provide a new prescription order interface and service which allows a customer to order one or more new prescription medications in a quick and easy manner from a remote location using a computer or a mobile device. The customer provides a new paper prescription image that includes the prescription data for a pharmacy to fill the new prescription order. The new paper prescription image is received by a server and a default pickup store and a default pickup time are determined. The server also determines whether there is a high risk that the new prescription order is fraudulent. The new prescription system and method may be accessed through a series of web pages and/or via an application running on a web-enabled device.
