RE: free Prescription Pads - Security

[Guest guest]

Are these secure enough to be the new " triplicates " that we now have or do we still have to get those from DEA?

I think this has been mentioned before -- and may not be to every persons needs --- but Medi-script will send you " free " prescription pads with your name and practice on them.

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.

The DEA doesn't send out triplicates anymore. You have to get them from a private company.
