I realized yesterday that it was the 1 year anniversary since starting this blog. I have to confess…this past year has flown by.

When NP Business started, it was orginally to be a joint project with several NP who were in business. As it so happens, everyone is busy and it’s hard to commit to such a project. Yet somehow, this project has come together and continues to grow. Continue Reading »

This past week, I ran into various different issues with the new Medicaid prescription laws.

The gist of it is, that those on Medicaid alone, will have to have their prescriptions faxed into the pharmacy or written on tamper proof paper.  Pharmacies were asking for us to do with this managed care as well – which was not part of this ruling.

The National Association of State Medicaid Directors website has a list for links to EACH state and the rules as they apply to your state. This came in handy…as I was able to fax the pharmacies the rules if there was a question.

Find your state and get a copy of your local rules: http://www.nasmd.org/issues/trpp.asp

Did you run into any problems?

I received an email today from someone who said they were having a hard time getting their questions answered during the interviews. While on my end, I kept trying to see the questions, I wasn’t. I spent quite a bit of time today with the tech support folks, and found dozens of questions from the last three interviews.

I’ll be working to get these answered and will post them here.

I’m sorry for the confusion and technical difficulties, but hopefully that is now behind us.
