Texas Tamper-Resistant Prescription Update
The Texas Tamper-Resistant Prescription Pad was recently revised ( PDF ) to clarify the tamper-resistant requirements for prescriptions printed from Electronic Medical Records or E-prescribing systems. (September 2008)
Effective April 1, 2008 all written prescriptions for Medicaid patients must be written on tamper-resistant pads. The requirement, which originated in President Bush's proposed 2008 budget is supposed to prevent fraud and save money. Below is a list of vendors approved by other states that sell these pads.
