Abstract
A method and system may provide a new prescription order interface 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 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 by comparing a signature in the new paper prescription image to stored signatures associated with the prescriber, and comparing distances between the locations of the customer's web-enabled device, the pharmacy, and the prescriber. The system may be accessed through a series of web pages and/or via an application.
