I typed prescriptions for pick up and mail a majority of the day. While also answering phone calls and helping patients that walked up to the pharmacy. I also prepared prescriptions for shipment through USPS. I would also fill prescriptions for the pharmacist to check. I also checked in orders that we received from our wholesalers.

This job required me to pull charts for appointments, pull charts for calls from patients for the doctor/nurse/physician assistant/ or etc.. I would file paper work that came into the office like lab work, x-rays or other scans and insurance paperwork. Then I would file away charts when the charts are no longer required in other parts of the office.
