Electronic Prescriptions
You'd better get used to the electronic prescribing but don't blame your doctor! Any office not using electronic scripts by the end of June 2011 will be penalized with a 1% reduction in Medicare payments for 2012. That penalty amount increases each year. I work in a medical office and believe me, we'd rather hand you the script also. Unfortunately, big brother won't let us do that! Just thought you should know what's really behind the new electronic rage.
