All the person working the pharmacy counter would have to do is ask the customer to read aloud what the prescription states. IF they can read it, then chances are they wrote it.

Thanks for the tip, Sloppy.

Round up the usual suspects, and include The Fondren to be fair.

Don't most people use a pharmacy that has them on record so the staff can file insurance or give insurance prices? If the scrip is for a pain med and the individual is not in the electronic records of the pharmacy should that not be a signal to the tech that a pharmacist needs to at least be alerted?

And please don't ask me to read prescriptions handed to me by a doctor. But, my doctors all send them electronically to the pharmacy unless for opioids.

Any pharmacist suspecting a fraudulent prescription should immediately ask the customer to state their disease. That way, the pharmacist will automatically sense if the customer is lying or not.

I knew a girl who went to prison for this. The state takes it very seriously.

I bet he don't try that at the Krogers in The Flowood. Specifically The Castelwoods. #popcrackapowyowww

Another reason having to have written prescriptions for opioids instead of being able to send them electronically is a bad deal.

"Any pharmacist suspecting a fraudulent prescription should immediately ask the customer to state their disease. That way, the pharmacist will automatically sense if the customer is lying or not."

Pharmacists are not allowed to do that.

Where is the post about Tate Reeves?

Agreed, 4:30. No employer, pharmacist, law enforcement officer or other person can ask/require a person to 'state your disease'. That's pure bullshit. Just as it's bullshit for a law enforcement officer to ask you if you are on medication and think he can require you to answer. Any such question should be answered with: That's none of your business, sir.

THAT'S not Kennuf Stokes is it?

To All - yes the pharmacist may in fact do this, and if the so-called “customer” does not comply, then he (or in the rarest of cases, she) may refrain from filling prescriptions from its entire customer base until the matter has been resolved.

As far a electronic prescriptions certain class drugs. Ie ADD and opioids required paper which is easier to fake.

Dwight Schrute: You are flat wrong and could not be more wrong. No medical personnel or pharmacist or anybody else related to health or medicine or pharmaceuticals or patient care has any authority to ask you 'what is your disease' and withhold treatment or service if you do not answer the question.

I almost wanted to tell you that you're full of crap, but since you already know that, I won't.

All controlled substances can be sent via electronic means as long as you have a two stage authentication. Paper is dead and the only people not doing this are the lazy old school offices that won’t upgrade.

3:26....yes, all pharmacists are trained as FBI interrogators. They could easily do this.

Drug terminology.....If you are black and/or poor, you are a dope head or junkie and should go to jail. If you are affluent white, you are a victim of an opioid epidemic and you should sue. Mother's Little Helper has been around a while.

He is obviously seeking treatment for that condition on the back of his head-

6:50 and you other folks thinking along the same lines. I am in the business. Pharmacists CAN ask about the specifics of a diagnosis and they CAN ask about anything else related to medical care if they need to do so. In fact, a large pharmacy chain now REQUIRES the diagnosis and date of last visit be provided before a controlled substance script is filled.
Also, the pharmacy can contact the subscribing provider any time they need further information.
These actions are NOT HIPAA violations, and in fact they are encouraged by the Board of Pharmacy if the pharmacist feels anything is amiss.

So in order to fill my Viagra prescription at Walgreens, the pharmacist can force me to declare that I suffer from impotence in front of all of the other customers in line if he/she wants to?

2:32 PM, false. You have clearly forfeited the privilege of healthcare confidentiality. You must comply with the pharmacist or face the consequences.

Schrute and the self professed expert at 9:57 - The fact remains that nobody in the health care chain of professionals can ask you 'What is your disease' and refuse to offer you services if you don't answer that question.

And surely you all know that your local doctor will not send an electronic scrip to your pharmacy for opioids. He will instead give you a written prescription that you must hand carry to your pharmacy. It's not laziness. It's protocol.

Lies. Lies. Lies. All controlled substances can be sent via Erx. Not only are you misinformed, you are a dumb fuck.

No, Schedule 2 controlled substances CANNOT be sent electronically. They have to be on paper and have an actual pen and ink signature. You can send a fax ahead to tell the pharmacy what to fill, but there has to be a physical prescription on file at the pharmacy.

wrong again.
with two stage authentication, your lazy ass MD can send in all the Cat 2s he wants. You are just misinformed.

You clowns who profess to be experts on electronic prescriptions are simply wrong. Having had back and hand surgeries in the past three years as well as other issues requiring hydrocodone, I know for a fact that none of the physicians or surgeons involved in those issues could send electronic scrips to my pharmacy and they are all using the same electronic protocol. Every one of them said that a written scrip with original signature is required. This includes MEA/ST D, New South Neuro-Spine, Capital Ortho and a Baptist clinic.

I don't know the reason for this requirement and don't care what the reason is since my visits, treatments and scrips were all legit. And I have never been asked by a pharmacist, "What is your disease or condition that necessitates the use of this drug?"

no, you are wrong, they can opt for a 2 stage authentication protocol, but it costs money. I send in cat 2 drugs all day long without ever handing anyone anything, and yes, I practice medicine.

10:10...What do you mean by "but it costs money"?

10:10 - If you 'send in cat 2 drugs all day long', I recommend you be investigated.

the level of armchair stupidity is amazing. Go back to your TV dinner and take your Xanax genius.
