Elaine,

The triplicates (forms in triplicate previously

required for controlled substances) were discontinued a few years ago.

Now you have to buy special security paper or pads from an approved printer.....I

have a message into Medi-Scripts to see if they meet the requirements, but I

doubt if they are " approved. " I'll let you know what I hear.

Here are the requirements:

All California Approved Secure Rx Paper contain all of

the required security features including:

Hidden " VOID " Message Technology

Distinctive BLUE Colored Background Blue background

Erasure Protection

Chemical Reactive Security Paper Secure Rub

Color Change Ink

Hidden Fibers

Reverse Rx feature

Micro Printed Security Line Secure

control batch number

Security Watermark

Security Feature Warning Band

I bought some that works well in my ink jet printer

from www.Californiarxpaper.com

Are these secure enough to be the new " triplicates " that we now have

or do we still have to get those from DEA?

They are free because they have advertising in them --

every so many Rx's there is a Rx for a drug that you tear out and throw away.

They meet the security features need for Medicaid (as

far as I know) and are otherwise helpful.

I haven't figured out if I can put them in my printer

to print out Rx from the EMR, but they are nice to have around.

Downside is that they have drug advertising which

might not be to everyone's liking.

But I do find they are more helpful to my office than

some of the other BS stuff that drug reps drop off -- the Rx's are free (low

overhead), help my patients when a written secure Rx is needed, and allow me to

meet the new guidlines.

No connection with them, just thought I'd throw out a

random low overhead idea for the list.

BTW, once you are enrolled, I think you just fax in a

preformatted Rx to them with your ID # for them and they send you a new box of

them.

Reverse Rx

Rx Symbol drops out when photocopied

The Medi-Scripts free prescription pads do meet the new Medicare

requirements. It is still unclear whether they meet the California

state narcotics requirements, but I sent the question back to them

again.

Sharon,

We have a doctor here in CA that has been

using Medi-Scripts pads for narcotics. I don’t think he’s had any

issues.
