Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
Our providers would like the capability of being able to send in electronic prescriptions for D.M.E (walker, cane, glucometer) to medical equipment distributors in the same manor that they are able to send electronic prescriptions for medications to a pharmacy.
It is not necessarily because the DME companies weren't/aren't listed, some used to be at least. When they were, they didn't properly receive the prescription. This has deteriorated since that time and now they are even harder to find in the lists.
Within Prescription Entry, the user does have the ability to create a Custom Prescription (Walker, Cane, Oxygen, etc). The user will be able to select "Supply" within the Custom eRX field to indicate that there is not an NDC number associated with the electronic message. This can then be transmitted to any pharmacy contained within the Surescripts database. The pharmacies listed are only those that are in contracts/partners with Surescripts.
For clarification on the need/request, are you needing additional recipients (e.g. ABC Medical Supply Company) to populate the Pharmacy lookup with Prescription Entry as they are not currently listed or does the above functionality meet your need?
