If you haven’t heard enough about e-Prescribing this week, well here’s more, and potentially good news from the DEA.  Last month I had referenced an article from Paul Levy and he mentioned a test pilot program that was in place, so hopefully the pilot program has had some good results, as the article referenced the hassles it creates in the ED of not being able to e-Prescribe. 

To get signed up as a physician for “FREE E-PRESCRIBING” there is a permanent link on this site where any physician can sign up at no cost, so if you do not have an electronic medical records system that can handle this for you, this is a good place to start.  BD 

The rule would apply to "Schedule IV" medications -- such as the insomnia treatments Lunesta and Ambien, as well as the anti-anxiety medication Xanax -- and "Schedule V" medications, such as the pain treatment Lyrica. According to an individual familiar with the situation, the rule also would apply to "Schedule II" medications, the most restricted category, which includes the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder treatments Concerta, Adderall  and Ritalin and the pain medication OxyContin.
