Associate Diagnosis Now Required for Certain Prescriptions

Certain medications now require you to enter an associate diagnosis before you can generate and send the electronic prescription. This step will help minimize outpatient/post-discharge medication delays and reduce calls from the pharmacy requesting more information to fill a prescription (e.g., Medicare Part B medications requiring an associate diagnosis before being filled).

If the medication you’re prescribing requires an associate diagnosis, you’ll now be prompted to enter the information.
