Is there any way to search for pharmacies using phone numbers in addition to the name and address fields

This is not possible within the AC prescription writer window, at least up to version 5.029 (I am not running the 5.1 beta yet, but I haven't seen this in the list of upgrades & fixes).

Up to version 5.029, it was possible to go onto the NewCrop screens (Right click on the patient name, choose "Medications & Prescribing", click on the "ePrescribing" drop-down menu item at the top left of this window, and click on "Manage via NewCrop Screens"). If you write a prescription within NewCrop, the last routing screen has options to search by pharmacy name, ZIP code, telephone number, or a combination of these. However, it is much more tedious than the AC prescription writer.

I suggest opening your web browser and entering the phone number in the Google or Bing search box. Works about 90% of the time.

You cannot get the telephone number directly in 5.1.5 either, it is the same as above.
