Section 10:167C-1.16 - Telephone-rendered original prescriptions

(a) Telephone 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 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 Program.

(c) When a prescriber chooses not to allow product interchange on a telephone 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.
