My experience dealing with doctors and pharmacies here is that written prescriptions hand delivered to the pharmacy is the best route. The new electronic med system now in place in most docs' offices, etc, still has bugs in it that have to be ironed out. The last time the doc's office electronically sent over a prescription to CVS it never got there and I went and fetched a hard copy to deliver myself. Then a week later, after I already picked up the prescription from CVS, I get a call from CVS to say that my prescription is filled. It turned out that the electronic version had arrived a week later than my hand delivered one and they went ahead and filled both. Go figure.
