I am trying to resolve confusion over prescription requirements for Medicare.
It has always been our understanding that original prescriptions are required
on file for all orders. However, in the Medical Provider Manual requlations
dated 02/04, it states that faxed copies are acceptable. When we do receive a
faxed prescription we request that the original be forwarded for our records.
Is this no longer necessary?
I appreciate any information provided.
