Do the tamper-resistant prescription policies apply to Hoosier Healthwise (HHW) and the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) claims written prior to December 31, 2009, but filled after December 31, 2009?
Due to the pharmacy benefit consolidation, HHW and HIP health plan members receive their pharmacy services through the fee-for-service (FFS) delivery system. Federal law is that all non-electronic prescriptions paid for by the FFS program must be written on tamper-resistant prescription pads. Refills of prescriptions written for HHW and HIP health plan members prior to December 31, 2009, to be filled on or after December 31, 2009, must meet TRPP requirements. Refer to Provider Bulletin BT200947, dated December 22, 2009, for additional information regarding TRPP requirements.
