Does the July 1, 2010 date refer to the date the prescription is filled or written?
The effective date refers to the date the prescription is written. Prescriptions written before July 1, 2010 and are not required to be on tamper-resistant prescription paper unless it is written for a Medicaid recipient. Can the prescriber add features to the prescription to make it compliant with the requirements such as writing out the drug quantities rather than just the number; using indelible or gel ink; or using an embossed logo? No. The law requires all written prescriptions to be on tamper-resistant paper or pads (TRPP) approved by the board. Features added to the prescription after it is printed such as a stamp, sticker or indelible ink do not meet the requirements of the law.
