Prescription Refill Request template
A refill request form that gets the pharmacy phone call out of your queue: patient name, date of birth, callback number, the medication as printed on the label, the prescribing provider, the pharmacy, and — the field that makes triage possible — how much medication the patient has left, from "none" to "more than a week."

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- A primary care office replacing a refill voicemail line that staff transcribed into the queue every morning
- A practice that wants refill requests triaged by urgency, using the supply-remaining answer to sort the day's list
- A clinic whose patients use several pharmacy chains, where "name and location" prevents sending refills to the wrong branch
- An after-hours option so patients can file requests at 9 pm instead of calling at 8 am
Tips to get more from it
- The supply-remaining question is the triage engine — "None — I've run out" and "1–3 days" requests deserve a same-day look, and the answer exports in its own CSV column for sorting
- The medication field's helper text asks for the label wording, e.g. lisinopril 10 mg; that phrasing does real work reducing clarification callbacks, so keep it
- Prescriber is deliberately optional — the helper text says staff will look it up — because requiring it stalls patients who only know "my doctor"
- The ending quotes a 2-business-day turnaround and warns a visit may be needed first; align both statements with your actual policy before publishing
Questions people ask
Does submitting this form refill the prescription automatically?
No. It sends a request to the practice, where staff and the prescribing provider review it — the ending tells patients the practice will call if a visit is needed before the refill.
How quickly are online refill requests processed?
That's up to the practice. This template's ending states a typical 2-business-day window; edit that text to match your own turnaround before you publish.
Can patients submit this from a phone?
Yes — the form is responsive and uses a single-page layout with seven short questions, so most patients can complete it in about a minute.
