Tamper-Resistant Prescription Pad Law Delayed Until April 1

Wilmer, Dayton, Ohio, is reminding distributors that a federal law originally scheduled to go into effect Oct. 1 mandating all written, non-electronic prescriptions for Medicaid recipients be written on tamper-resistant pads, has been delayed by six months. Congressional members approved the measure delaying implementation on Sept. 27, and set April 1 as the new date to comply with the law.
