As a physician, if you haven’t been marketed yet, you might expect some marketing efforts forthcoming soon. In Florida the insurance companies are offering free e-prescribing and I might guess by going through a clearinghouse that this will go directly into the records of one’s medications with...
6 months is not that long , so I would think any physician who is not presently e-Prescribing might want to seriously take a look and think hard about it. A little practice and learning curve ahead of time can’t hurt . Many offices already have electronic records that integrate this service...
