Announcement -Tamper-Resistant Prescription Pads Requirements effective April 1
Friday, March 21
Effective April 1, Medicaid will require all written prescriptions for outpatient drugs, including over-the-counter drugs, to be on tamper-resistant prescription pads. As you may recall, Congress mandated the new requirement last year, but temporarily postponed implementation until April 1 to allow more time for states to respond.
