What does RTS mean?

• A. Return To Sender
• B. Refill To Stop
• C. Refill Too Soon
• D. Rx Transfer Status

Answer: (C)

RTS means Refill Too Soon. This status is used when a prescription refill is requested before the patient is eligible to receive it under the prescribed refill schedule or window. In Intercom Plus, seeing RTS tells the pharmacist that the refill should not be processed yet because the allowable time or quantity hasn’t been reached, helping ensure the prescription remains compliant with the prescriber’s instructions and legal limits. The other options don’t fit because they refer to different processes (such as returning mail, stopping a refill, or transferring a prescription) rather than the timing issue of when a refill can be issued.
