Section 10:167A-1.18 - Telephone-rendered, faxed or electronically transmitted original prescriptions
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024
(a) Telephone, facsimile or electronically transmitted orders from prescribers for original prescriptions shall be permitted in accordance with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations.
(b) For purposes of reimbursement, telephone-rendered or faxed authorization to refill an original prescription with no refill remaining is considered a new order and requires a new written prescription with a new prescription number. Stamping or writing a new number on the original prescription order does not constitute a new prescription under the PAAD program.
(c) When a prescriber chooses not to allow product interchange on a telephone-rendered or faxed order, the statement "Substitution not permitted by prescriber-telephoned Rx" plus the pharmacist's full signature next to or below the statement, shall appear on the prescription order. A rubber stamp bearing the statement is acceptable.
(d) Electronically transmitted prescriptions shall be in compliance with the State Board of Pharmacy requirements at 13:39-7.11.
