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?
