System and method for completing treatment authorization request forms

A method of providing field autopopulation for a treatment authorization request form comprising:

• receiving a pharmaceutical prescription, the prescription being associated with a plurality of elements;
• attempting to fulfill the prescription;
• generating a rejection if the attempted prescription fill was rejected;
• sending the rejection to a designated data structure where the rejection maintains an association with the plurality of elements;
• identifying a treatment authorization request form, the treatment authorization request form having a plurality of fields corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of elements;
• associating at least a portion of the plurality of fields with at least a portion of the plurality of elements;
• merging the plurality of elements and the treatment authorization request form into an integrated file, at least a portion of the plurality of elements being represented on at least a portion of the plurality of fields;
• and
• transmitting the integrated file to an authorizing party.

A treatment authorization request form field autopopulation system, comprising:

• a first pharmacy at a first location, the first pharmacy having a workstation and a pharmacy server;
• a second pharmacy at a second location, the second pharmacy having a workstation and a pharmacy server;
• a network server and a network operatively coupling the network server and the workstations and the pharmacy servers at the first and second pharmacies;
• the pharmacy server at the first pharmacy having a controller with a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory having a database to store information related to a prescription and a treatment authorization request form;
• the workstation at the first pharmacy having a data input device to allow the prescription to be input into the system by a user, the prescription being associated with a data set, the data set having a plurality of elements;
• the controller being programmed to:
• receive periodic updates to the database from the network server;
• transmit a request to fulfill the prescription;
• receive a rejection in response to the request to fulfill the prescription;
• send the rejection to a designated data structure wherein the rejection maintains an association with the data set;
• associate a plurality of fields from a treatment authorization request form with the data set's elements;
• associate a control number with the form;
• and
• merge the data set, the control number, and the form into an integrated file, at least a portion of the data set's elements being represented on at least a portion of the form's fields.
