Prescription — Prior Authorization Request: Requests from pharmacies for new prescriptions. These will most frequently come from mail-order pharmacies, which require new prescriptions to begin handling a patient's medication regimen.

 

Classification availability: athenahealth

Prescription documents require a physician or staff member to take action by either approving or denying the prescription and then faxing the document back to the pharmacy or closing the document to the patient's chart. You can annotate prescription documents after the prescription is approved or denied by using the annotate with tools feature.

 

Providers in Ohio: In accordance with State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy regulations, you cannot send prescriptions via athenaFax. You must submit prescriptions through Surescripts or print them so that you can manually fax the prescription to the pharmacy or give it to the patient.
