Which pickup level indicates the prescription was sent by the doctor?

• A. Pickup 3
• B. Pickup 2
• C. Pickup 6
• D. Pickup 7

Answer: (A)

Pickup levels show where a prescription came from in the workflow. When a prescription is sent directly by the doctor, the system marks it with the code that denotes physician-initiated transmission. In this mapping, that designation is the level labeled as pickup 3. So seeing that pickup level tells you the prescriber’s office sent the prescription electronically, rather than it being brought in by the patient or entered later by staff. Other pickup levels point to different origins or stages and don’t indicate the doctor sent the prescription.
