Can you contract with those vendors individually or is that functionality included in your EMR purchase? Thanks! What other third party service vendors provide e-prescribing?

In the meantime, the DEA has proposed <a href="http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/fed_regs/rules/2008/fr0627.htm" rel="nofollow"> a rule for eprescribing controlled substances</a> that was open for comment until Sept 25th, 2008. Where it is now, I'm not sure but worthy of more digging on my part to find out for you. Thanks, George I think all of those concerns are very valid and I’ll work on posts on all topics you offered.

(I am an early adopter and use DrFirst freestanding from an EMR) 1. Renewal authorizations are clearly the big payback for physicians. This is the task where time and money are saved. Yet mail-order pharmacies persist in sending renewal requests via fax (to which I respond online). When will they join the 21st century. 2. Controlled substance prescribing. When can we expect reasonable federal policy on this??? 3. Diabetes supplies billed to Medicare B. Some pharmacies insist that an electronic signature is not permitted. It is easy to add the ICD9 code and a notation about insulin use to the Rx. Some pharmacies have figured this out but most have not. Back to print, sign and fax OR fill out the pharmacy's blasted form. A clear statement from CMS on this topic would be very helpful. Any insights?
