Which action is appropriate if a Medicaid prescription lacks tamper-resistant features and is not a controlled substance?
Correct Answer:
Contact prescriber to verify
Explanation:
Tamper-resistant prescription standards are in place to prevent fraud and ensure Medicaid payments are used for legitimate medications. When a Medicaid prescription arrives without tamper-resistant features, the pharmacist should verify its legitimacy by contacting the prescriber. Reaching out to confirm the prescriber’s intent or requesting a reissue that meets tamper-resistant requirements helps ensure the patient receives the correct medication and that the prescription is eligible for Medicaid reimbursement, even if the drug isn’t a controlled substance. Refusing to fill, doing nothing, or telling the patient to challenge the pharmacy aren’t appropriate responses in this situation because they either block care or don’t address the legitimacy concern.
