Here, Here, Brian well said. And I'm sure the honest and honorable people at UHC won't use the writing of more expensive but possibly better drugs in some weird hard to understand, doctor rating system. Penalized for doing the right thing, Gotta love it. And what about my favorite part of all this, large centralized systems lead to ease of privacy violations and hacking. And who else will be allowed to see and use this data, not the employer who is behind the self paid, administrator based plan now will they?
Cat Herding, uh??? Meow....
And as far as I and many others are concerned, these "E" Rx systems really make life easier and less expensive on these folks, the Pharmacys. So I don't want to hear about us providers having to have to pay a dime for another new monthly, forever and ever "taximeter" that we have to pay for just to make everyone else's life easier, cheaper, better. I like the model of the lab interfaces here at AC. Sure it cost money to activate the interface, but who did this interface help most? The lab we hooked up with... So who picked up the tab for it? The lab did. So when all these "E Rx" places care to pay us to pay Jon and offer the great support that Quest has given us then and only then will our office willing sign up for such a thing....
