Prescription Origin Codes

Telephone or Fax?
Electronic Or Written?

What matter does it make? I have yet been properly explained origin of origin codes.
What possible difference could it make to anybody where the prescription came from. Or enough of a difference that it was mandated that all prescriptions now have to it recorded. Of course we retail pharmacist know why.

Insurance Audits

Here we have another technicality that the insurance companies can hang their hat on in order not to pay your claim. "Oh we know that you dispensed Enbrel, but you said it was a electronic rx and meanwhile it was faxed. Sorry." And just like that you are out two grand. It's not good enough that our profit margin is a measly 10%. Now we are in even greater jeopardy of losing the whole claim.
