State-Mandated Prescription Forms from Printco

Manufacturing state-mandated prescription forms since 1995, Printco, Omro, Wis., is ready for the new Medicaid mandate. Under the new policy, hand-written prescriptions for Medicaid outpatient drugs will only be reimbursable if written on a tamper-resistant prescription pad.

Effective April 1, a tamper-resistant prescription pad must contain at least one of the following characteristics:

• Features preventing unauthorized copying of a completed or blank prescription form

• Features preventing the erasure or modification of information written on the prescription by the prescriber

• Features preventing the use of counterfeit prescription forms

Beginning Oct. 1, tamper-resistant prescription pad must contain all three characteristics.

Printco offers one- and two-part prescription pads, and customers’ logos may be included. The company also provides stock laser prescription forms.
