How Refill ordering and fulfillment actually work.
Refill is telehealth infrastructure — pharmacy network, optional provider coverage, Refill Connect, and aggregate 503A pricing. This cluster breaks down each workflow step by step and shows where Fizy Health fits clinics that already prescribe and batch refill day.
Every Refill workflow, answered one page at a time.
Each page below walks one part of the Refill ordering and fulfillment flow — from placing an order to recovering a rejected one. Throughout, we contrast Refill's telehealth infrastructure model with Fizy Health's batch checkout and pass-through pricing for in-house prescribing teams.

Common Refill workflow questions.
- Workflow
How does the Refill workflow work end to end?
A clinic selects a patient and compounded medication, authorizes the prescription (in-house or via Refill's provider network), submits the order, and Refill routes it to a 503A partner that verifies, compounds, and ships. Optional Refill Connect handles patient-facing portal and billing.
- Validation
When does Refill check an order for errors?
Refill does not foreground pre-submit validation in public materials, so SIG, licensure, and stock checks typically happen at the partner pharmacy after submission. Fizy Health validates before checkout for in-house prescribing teams.
- Fulfillment
Does Refill publish fulfillment or shipping times?
Refill does not publish guaranteed turnaround on refill.co but offers real-time order tracking in-platform. Timing depends on the 503A partner's queue and cold-chain shipping — ask for committed timeframes in your demo.
- Routing
What happens when one order spans multiple pharmacies?
Refill supports multiple 503A partners with pharmacy choice per patient on cost or turnaround. Mixed orders split after checkout with each line on its own schedule. Fizy Health keeps split batch orders under one checkout with per-line tracking.
- Comparison
How are Fizy Health workflows different from Refill?
Fizy Health is pharmacy ops for clinics that already prescribe: pass-through per-vial cost, validation before payment, and one batch cart for refill day. Refill is telehealth infrastructure with provider coverage, Refill Connect, and aggregate pharmacy pricing plus software fees.
