Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for prescription management is described. At least one prescription is received at a pharmacy and an order associated with at least one of the prescriptions is generated. A shipping location associated with the order is determined and the order is communicated to a central fill facility for filling the prescriptions associated with the order. A cost associated with the order is received from the central fill facility. The cost includes a shipping cost and an order cost. Payment is settled for the order based on the cost. In one embodiment, the prescription is filled with the prescribed drug at the central fill or a remote third-party facility for delivery of the drug to a location designated by the patient on behalf of, but independent of, the designated pharmacy.
