I easily write 50+ scripts a week for hydrocodone for postop pain. And now hydrocodone is a class II so I need to use triplicate prescriptions which you have to purchase from the state. Now my only option is tylenol with codeine and tramadol / apap which are class III. At least class III scripts can just be printed through ac and given to the patient. I have never had triplicate scripts in 18 years of practice and I certainly will not get one now. Is there any chance AC will ever be able to e-script controlled substances?
