I spoke with Alex at Surescripts this morning (Sept 2). He informed me that they had contracted with AC to translate the 10.6 schema NCPDP to the new standard 10.61 to September 1st, as AC was having difficulty updating to the 10.61 in time. The ball is now in AC's court to update, work something out with Surescripts. Alex did not see any communication from AC yet about the new inability to electronically prescribe. Meanwhile, physicians may have to phone in prescriptions (Yea! sad face emoji). I hope someone from AC will comment in this forum and keep us apprised during this process.
The struggle is real.
