ePrescribe is a way for doctors to send electronically an accurate, error free, and understandable prescription from the doctor's office to the pharmacy. The ePrescribe Program also includes:
- Formulary and benefits transactions - Gives the health care provider information about which drugs are covered by your drug benefit plan.
- Fill status notification - Allows the health care provider to recieve an electronic notice from the pharmacy telling them if your prescription has been picked up, not picked up, or partially filled.
- Medication history transactions - Provides the health care provider with information about your current and past prescriptions. This allows health care providers to be better informed about potential medication issues and to use that information to improve safety and quality. Medication history data can indicate: compliance with prescribed regimins; theraputic interventions; drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions; adverse drug reactions; and duplicative therapy.
The medication history information would include medications provided by other health care providers involved in your care and may include sensitive information including, but not limited to, medications related to mental health conditions, veneral deseases/sexually transmitted diseases, abortion(s), rape/sexual assault, substance (drug and alcohol) abuse, genetic diseases, and HIV/AIDS. As part of this Consent Form, you specifically consent to the release of this and other sensitive health information.
By signing this form you are agreeing that your provider at the practice may request and use your prescription medication history from other healthcare providers and/or third party pharmacy benefit payors for treatment purposes.
You may decide not to sign this form. Your choice will not affect your ability to get medical care, payment for your medical care, or you medical benefits. Your choice to give or deny consent may not be the basis for denial of health services. You also have the right to receive a copy of this form after you have signed it.
This consent form will remain in effect until the day you revoke your consent. You may revoke this consent at any time in writing but if you do, it will not have an effect on any actions taken prior to receiving the revocation.
Understanding all of the above, I hereby provide informed consent to the practice to enroll me in this ePrescribe Program. I have had the chance to ask questions and all of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.
