Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically processing prescription refills and transfers are disclosed. According to certain aspects, a server associated with a pharmacy may receive, from an electronic device, a message including a digital image depicting a container of a prescription. The server may analyze the digital image to identify a set of visual identifiers depicted in the digital image. Based on the set of visual identifiers, the server may determine whether the prescription is associated with the pharmacy and, based on the determination, may facilitate either a refill of the prescription or a transfer of the prescription to the pharmacy.
