What is a Non-SpecCheck Order?

Understand how orders submitted outside of SpecCheck are handled — and what’s possible with SpecCheck Pro.

What is a Non-SpecCheck Order?

A Non-SpecCheck Order refers to any Rx order that was not submitted through SpecCheck's order entry tool. These orders may come from:

  • VisionWeb

  • Eyefinity

  • Orders phoned or faxed into the lab

  • Handwritten order forms

  • Or any other external tool

(Note: Viewing and tracking Non-SpecCheck orders in your dashboard requires a SpecCheck Pro subscription.)

Limitations of Non-SpecCheck Orders

Orders not submitted through the SpecCheck platform often lack the structure and data integrity needed to fully support platform features. Due to their inconsistent formatting, Non-SpecCheck Orders come with several limitations:

  • 🔒 SpecCheck Pro Required Viewing Non-SpecCheck orders in your dashboard—including individual order invoices and order status history—requires SpecCheck Pro. Free accounts exclusively display orders submitted directly through SpecCheck.

  • 🔁 Limited or Missing Data Orders submitted outside SpecCheck often have limited or missing data. We display all the data provided by your lab partner.

  • 🗓️ Shortened Retention Period Non-SpecCheck orders are retained in the system for 6 months before being archived.

For the best experience and full functionality, including redos, duplications, unlimited order retention, and premium tools at no extra cost, we strongly recommend submitting orders directly through SpecCheck.

However, if you prefer to keep your current workflow and continue placing orders outside SpecCheck, you'll need to be on SpecCheck Pro to view and track these orders in your dashboard.
