That irritating company is NewCrop, the intermediary company which 99% of AC uses. It is the only one that is configured to work with AC. Like the DEA said today, "If you can do the same thing with paper scripts (which you can) and you have done it this way for years, then they see no reason why the company would all of a sudden stop." Sounds like Allscripts doesn't do it, and I am in the process of talking to Dr. First and any other company to see if a) they do it and b) if they know any reason someone would. The fact that the assistant marketing manager of NewCrop telling me I would hate her, must mean that it is something NC decided. When I first thought it was the DEA, I didn't understand why should would say that. Now it sounds like an internal decision. Now, we and I must find out what NC sees as a problem with it that none of the other companies see, especially when every pharmacy I use: Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Target, Miller Drug, Community Pharmacy, Hannaford, Shaw's all accept three scripts. It is actually much safer and more efficient and less time-consuming for the patient, physician and pharmacy, a good enough reason I suppose for someone outsider to try to screw it up. But, they will lose business. Already looking for another company for scripts due to this and since I am looking elsewhere anyway, it will not be a problem long. I guess one of my Must Have will be an EMR that doesn't use NewCrop. I am not sure about the other EPCS intermediaries, but NC has AI. I mean they can tell when you write the word "written" in the pharmacy message line that you may be trying to write Dispense as Written, and it will be rejected.
