Medicaid Prescription - more info

Published by bcp under NP Practice

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

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?

NP Interview Questions and Answers

Published by bcp under NPInterviews

questions.jpgI 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.

Medicaid Prescription - Tamper-Proof by April 1, 2008

Published by bcp under Practice Mgmt

Tamper Proof PrescriptionApril 1st is around the corner, and for all prescribers, including NPs, that means new regulations will be in effect.  Any written prescription for clients with Medicaid have to be on prescriptions that prevent unauthorized copying, erasure or modification, or counterfeiting.

I previously wrote about this, along with some resources on where to purchase these prescription pads and paper this past July, Prescription Writing Law for for Medicaid Patients and Tamper Proof Prescriptions.

Remember, this only applies to prescriptions written/printed. This will not apply to electronic scripts or phone scripts.
