Are Medicare patients required to use E-prescribing?

We had a difficult time attesting for MU ( but got it done yesterday 40%).

I don't feel that I should force pts to use E-prescribe. If they want the rx in their hand , i give it to them.

I am supposed to tell my Medicare patients that they must use it, or I won't get my MU dollars (I would never say that to them).

There is an office in the area that put a sign up notifying Medicare pts that all medicare RX will be sent electronically.

Any ideas?
