Abstract
The method and system may provide a service that allows a customer to order refills of prescription medications in a quick and hassle-free manner from a remote location using a virtual calendar on a computer or mobile device. The system identifies prescription medications eligible for refill by a customer on a particular date and transmits a calendar event to the customer. The calendar event includes a refill reminder identifier corresponding to the prescription medications eligible for refill. The customer replies to the calendar event that includes the refill reminder identifier. The system then receives the reply electronic communication from the customer and validates the refill reminder identifier associated with the reply electronic communication. Accordingly, the system retrieves prescription numbers associated with the refill reminder identifier and transmits the retrieved prescription numbers for filling and dispensing the prescription medications.
