Refill first order guide
Your Refill first order is the initial compounded prescription a verified clinic submits through the dashboard to a 503A partner pharmacy, following a select-patient, choose-medication, submit flow. Refill does not publish a screen-by-screen first-order manual on its public pages, so this guide frames the steps a clinic should expect and the checks to make so the first order is not the one that gets rejected.
This page outlines the Refill first-order workflow, the verifications that prevent a rejected first order, and how Fizy Health front-loads validation.
Get the first order right so it ships, not rejects.
Once your clinic is verified and your team can sign in, the first order follows a familiar pattern. The goal is to confirm the details that commonly cause rejections before you submit, so your first experience is a shipped order.
What you need first
- A verified clinic and signed-in team Ordering only works after onboarding completes and team members sign in under their own roles, including a prescriber who can sign off.
- A patient record to order against The first order attaches to a patient, so have the patient's details ready to select or create before you start.
- Correct directions and licensure Confirm the SIG and that prescriber state matches the ship-to, since these are the details that most often cause a rejection.
How access works
- 01 Select the patient Choose the patient the order is for, or create the patient record if they are new to the platform.
- 02 Choose the medication Pick the compounded medication and strength from the catalog of your assigned 503A partners.
- 03 Confirm directions and sign off Enter or confirm the SIG, have the prescriber review licensure and directions, and approve the order.
- 04 Submit and track Submit to the partner pharmacy and follow order status as it moves from compounding to shipment.
Common access issues
-
First order rejected after payment
An invalid SIG, prescriber-state mismatch, or out-of-stock SKU can bounce a first order. Confirm these details before submitting.
-
Patient record not ready
If the patient is not yet in the system, the first order stalls. Prepare or create the patient record before you begin.

Add a new patient inline as you build the first cart instead of leaving the order flow.
-
Batch the whole first refill day
Put every patient who needs an order into one clinic cart and submit a single validated checkout.

What clinics ask about a first Refill order.
- Definition
What is involved in a Refill first order?
A Refill first order is the initial compounded prescription a verified clinic submits through my.refill.co to a 503A partner pharmacy, following a select-patient, choose-medication, sign-off, and submit flow.
- Process
How do I place my first order on Refill?
Select or create the patient, choose the medication and strength, confirm the SIG and prescriber sign-off, then submit to your assigned 503A partner and follow order status as it ships.
- Prerequisite
What do I need before my first Refill order?
You need a verified clinic, a signed-in team including a prescriber who can sign off, and the patient's details ready to select or create before you start the order.
- Pitfall
Why do first orders get rejected?
First orders most often bounce on an invalid SIG, a prescriber-state mismatch with the ship-to, or an out-of-stock SKU. Confirming these details before submitting prevents a rejected first order.
- Speed
Can I batch my first refill day on Refill?
Refill marketing emphasizes a per-order select-and-submit flow. Confirm whether batch checkout for multiple patients is available if refill-day batching matters to your clinic.
- Alternative
How does Fizy Health handle a first order?
Fizy Health lets you create patients inline, batch the first refill day in one cart, validate SIGs and licensure before checkout, and track each line from submit to doorstep — so the first order ships rather than rejects.
