Patient Guide: Upload Prescription in Seconds (and Avoid Delays)
Get faster approvals by uploading clear prescriptions. Common mistakes and how to fix them quickly.
Why Prescription Quality Matters
A clear prescription upload means faster order processing. Blurry or incomplete uploads lead to delays, callbacks, and frustration. Here's how to get it right the first time.
Common Upload Mistakes
- Blurry photos: Camera shake or poor lighting
- Cropped details: Missing doctor information or date
- Glare on paper: Reflections making text unreadable
- Wrong format: Uploading screenshots instead of photos
Step-by-Step Perfect Upload
Before You Photograph
- Flatten the prescription on a solid surface
- Use natural light or bright indoor lighting
- Remove any clips or folds
Taking the Photo
- Hold phone parallel to the paper (not at an angle)
- Ensure all four corners are visible
- Check that all text is readable in preview
- Avoid shadows crossing the prescription
Uploading on Pharmogram
- Open the app and tap "Upload Prescription"
- Choose "Camera" for new photo or "Gallery" for existing
- Crop to include only the prescription
- Review the preview – is everything readable?
- Tap "Submit" and wait for confirmation
