About prescription refill requests

A client can make a prescription refill request in the Vello client portal. Your practice receives the request in the Requests tab of the Requests & Notifications screen.

In the Prescriptions screen of the client portal, a client can get access to prescribed medications and previously prescribed medications for their pets. And if your practice activates prescription refill requests, a client can make requests for medications that the screen shows.

A prescription refill request shows as an entry in the Requests tab of the Requests & Notifications screen.

Note: A client can make a prescription refill request for more than one item at the same time. As a result, each item shows as a different prescription refill request entry.
If you select a prescription refill request in the Requests tab, Vello shows a Review Prescription Refill dialog box:

The Review Prescription Refill dialog box shows:
  • Pet name
  • Medication name
  • Quantity of the medication that a staff member previously prescribed
  • The date that a staff member previously prescribed the medication
  • The name of the client who made the prescription refill request
  • A message to the practice that the client entered in the refill request (if applicable)

After you receive a prescription refill request, you can dispense the medication. It is not possible to use Vello to dispense the medication.

Tip: To easily send a text message to the client that tells them when to collect the medication:
  1. Make a quick reply in Vello
  2. Select Send Message in the Review Prescription Refill dialog box

If you want to remove the prescription refill request from view, select Archive.

Note: If you selected Archive for a prescription refill request, you can get access to the request again if you select the Show Archived filter in the Requests tab.
