Thanks.
It is important to differentiate the two situations. For months, HAVING to EPCS has been on the horizen. That was what this thread was for. Thank you for your feedback. I am little by little learning from NewCrop how the nurses can prescribe on NewCrop. Just as they printed the tamperproof script, and I signed, they can now enter the scripts, and I can OK them. But, still much MORE time for the MAs. And, difficult if with say, nine scripts. When I say nine, I mean three of Concerta 36 mg, three of methylphenidate 10 mg at noon and three of methylphenidate 5 mg at 3 pm. We do three months at a time.
This will mean much more work in NewCrop and not in AC or with paper scripts.
The other situation, which may involve NY or Koby or no one are the new state laws to combat heroin overdoing. This has nothing to do with EPCS and everything to do with PMP and MME. All scripts under 100 Morphine Milligram Equivalents and all scripts being cross checked with PMP. All scripts having an ICD-10 code if over 100 (not a diagnosis like ADHD, but F90.0). These do carry over to NewCrop, unfortunately all 15 carry over.
So, in Maine, when you combine all of the new laws with the EPCS mandate, it is difficult.
