Split Rx

In some situations, a prescriber may send a PrescribeIT® prescription that contains a drug that must be split into multiple drugs in order to be dispensed. This is referred to as a Split Rx.

For example:

• A medication strength is not commercially available, so multiple drug strengths must be combined to fulfill the prescription.

• A combination pack is on backorder or not insured by the patient's Third Party plan, so the individual drugs in the combination pack must be dispensed separately.

A PrescribeIT® prescription, whether it is a New Rx Request, Renewal Rx Order, or an approved authorization request can be split after being processed from the Data Entry queue.
