| Data Review | Prescriber List

Overview 

My Prescriber List is where hospital users manage prescribers for their covered entities (CE) and contract pharmacies (CP). Users can add a new prescriber as well as edit and terminate an existing prescriber. They can also filter, search, and export the prescriber list from this page. Prescribers are one of many elements used to qualify retail prescriptions in conjunction with pharmacy settings and qualification rules. 

Prescriber List Types:

• Standard: Prescribers that work exclusively for one hospital and do not write prescriptions for any other entities.
• Extended: Prescribers that write prescriptions for more than one entity which may include their private practice, other entities, or clinics.
• Referral: Outside prescribers that patients may be referred to. Can be used to assist in identifying and reviewing potential referrals in 340B RxCorrelate.

Prescribers listed on this page are the providers for the customer's entire health system (Hospital and Retail)

How to Edit a Prescriber
