Hi Steven:
>>> Forgeries are much more likely to occur using phone in scrips - anyone with the basic information on one of my written scrips can call in a scrip for Schedule III narcotics. I live in a small town so the 3 pharmacies know all my employees and I really only call in one rarely as I usually just fax them.
Actually, that's not really true. Most software answering systems can post the initiating call's phone number, so if it is not coming from a physician's office, the pharmacist should call to verify. Also, at least in my state, the pharmacist can call a centralized database number to get a listing of all prior narcotic prescriptions made for the patient in the past.
