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.
