Prescription refill database?

When I fill out my prescription in a pharmacy and the pharmacist enters my info in the computer, where does that data go and is it available in an API?

It is kept in a proprietary database owned by the pharmacy unless it is sent to Medicare for coverage. Since that personal information is covered by HIPPA, it is not available by API.
