Indiana State Mandates
Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS)
Federal Mandate: Medicare Part D Practitioners In 2018 the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act was passed by the federal government. The Act includes legislation that requires Medicare Part D practitioners to begin electronically prescribing Part D drugs requiring prior authorization on January 1, 2021. Medicare Part D prescribers in every state are subject to the above stated mandate and must comply.
Indiana State Mandate: All Prescribers As established in Indiana Senate Bill 176, following December 31, 2020, prescribers, including dentists, physicians, optometrists, podiatrists, physician assistants, and advanced practice registered nurses, must electronically prescribe all controlled substances prescriptions. While certain exceptions will apply, legal action, such as board sanctions, will be taken against any qualifying individual who violates the statutes of the legislation. For more information please refer directly to the bill.
