Hi i have a prescription sent in but the pharmacy is saying they are waiting for dr approval even though the dr sent in this am?

Prescriptions: You've posted on the free, public, anonymous HealthTap forum. We don't know who you are, what your prescription is for, or what platform you used (if any) for a consultation. You will need to contact the physician who wrote the prescription to resolve this issue.

Common possibilities: The pharmacy may wait for preauthorization from your physician’s office as requested by your insurance or there is a question from the pharmacist in order to clarify prescription that needs to be answered by the physician.

Clarification : These days with electronic prescriptions being the norm, there is no longer the opportunity for the pharmacist to speak directly with the prescriber.It sounds like the pharmacist may have had a question for the doctor before he/she released the medication to you. Also, the doctor may have needed to provide additional information to your insurance before the medicine could be covered by your plan.
