I should have kept track, because I say this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard all the time. Then have a top 10. But, this has to be closest to the stupid.
On Class III and even Class II drugs wouldn't an ePrescribe with a six to eight letter password with all the fancy characters be secure enough. The password would need to match the name at the signature field or even have to add your DEA number which would not show on the preview. Only for narcotics, etc. The pharmacist would report mismatched passwords. For any error, there is a $1,000 fine, which doesn't break the bank but is substantial enough for PCPs. So, if you give out your password, you are asking for trouble.
Wouldn't this give a much better paper trail than a fax or call?
