Just wondering what others do with these whether they are by fax or via ePrescribe. My CMA goes into ePrescribe and refills every one of them. Of course, then they fill my inbox even though I don't want to see them.

Ironically, on the weekends, when I check faxes, I delete all of them. I just wonder how many of them are still being used, and I feel I would have a better idea of what my patients are doing if they called the office. Then again, maybe that would take more time.

It just seems that pharmacies must just hold onto these on their computers. They can't waste time and space filling them. I know that when I need refills I simply call my doctor and leave a VM. Of course, I cheat some by refilling them myself.

So, maybe it is a good thing. I haven't figured it out yet.

What do others do?
