Part D standards aim to encourage e-prescribing
April 20th, 2008 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
Washington — Doctors who want to go paperless when ordering drugs for their Medicare patients now have a set of federal standards on how to do it. Those who are prescribing electronically already have a year in which to become compliant with the rules.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on April 2 released final e-prescribing regulations for Medicare Part D. Under the rules, physicians and pharmacies will not be required to use electronic prescriptions but must follow the new standards if they do.
