Physician Refill Alerts for HCPs
Surface Timely, Brand-Specific Refill Reminders Directly Within the EHR Workflow
Optimized For Outcomes
By identifying patients with a National Drug Code (NDC) present in their chart within the last 12 months who are due for a refill, pharmacy alerts prompt prescribers at the exact moment of decision-making. This seamless intervention improves adherence, reduces therapy gaps, and ensures continuity of care while reinforcing your brand's presence at critical clinical moments.
Keep patients on therapy by prompting physicians with timely, targeted refill reminders—improving adherence, continuity of care, and brand performance.
Activation & Capabilities
Timely, In-Workflow Intervention
Refill reminders appear directly in the physician’s prescribing workflow, supporting patients before therapy gaps occur. Alerts display clearly as sponsored copy (e.g., “Sponsored by BRAND”) alongside standard refill reminders.
Precision Targeting
Programs are primarily triggered by NDC and can be optionally refined by National Provider Identifier (NPI), geography, or age to align perfectly with your brand objectives.
Data-Driven Relevance
The solution leverages patient chart look-back windows (12-months is recommended best practice) to ensure alerts are clinically meaningful and to reduce unnecessary noise for prescribers.
Improved Adherence & Persistence
By proactively addressing refills, alerts help reduce abandonment and ensure patients stay on therapy longer, leading to better clinical outcomes and stronger brand loyalty.

The questions we get from teams marketing to patients.
These answers cover how we help brands find the right people, earlier and without guesswork or risk.
Our alerts are primarily triggered by the presence of a specific National Drug Code (NDC) in a patient's chart. As a best practice, we utilize a 12-month patient chart look-back window to ensure the alerts are clinically meaningful and accurately identify patients who are due for a refill, reducing unnecessary noise for prescribers.
Yes. While the NDC is required as the primary trigger, your campaign can optionally be refined by specific NPIs, geography, or patient age to align perfectly with your brand objectives. However, please note that over-narrowing your targeting criteria will reduce the overall frequency of your messages.
The refill reminders appear directly within the physician’s EHR prescribing workflow, alongside standard refill reminders. To ensure transparency, the alerts clearly display as sponsored copy (e.g., “Sponsored by [Manufacturer]”).
Yes, there is a strict character limit of 244 characters or less, which includes spaces and the required sponsorship disclosure. We highly recommend keeping your copy short and simple. Additionally, all copy must be reviewed by OptimizeRx and our network partners, prior to launch, so custom messages may require additional time for launch approvals.
