E-prescribing of controlled substances
in Iowa
All providers who have a federal DEA number should have recently received a letter from the FDA regarding the ability to electronically prescribe controlled substances. The letter stipulates that under certain conditions this is allowable if your computer system meets certain criteria.
Please be aware that Iowa law currently does not authorize e-prescribing of controlled substances. Rule review and amendment to address this issue is forthcoming but the Pharmacy Board does not anticipate changes for at least 3 or 4 months.
