Those with the promo pricing are locked in at that price for those practitioners. If you choose to add practitioners after the promo period, the price per month with be $65.

  It’s $5.00 per month for every additional supporting staff member over the 5.

How to Prescribe Medications

You can prescribe medications for your clients in a couple different ways. The first is from the client profile.

From the Prescriptions tab, you can add new prescriptions, manage prescriptions and see a list of previously prescribed medications.

In order for your prescription to go through, there are some required fields that must be filled out. 

When you click the "Prescribe New Drug" button, the prescribing interface will popup where you can search for drugs or look them up by category.

You will select the format for the prescription.

You can select from existing formats or create your own format for this prescription. 

Once the format has been chosen, you can choose the quantities, directions, duration, insurances, diagnosis, pharmacy and other options. When you are done filling out this information, you can click the green "Send to Pharmacy" button or the "Queue to Provider for Approval" if you are not the prescriber.

Once a medication has been prescribed, it will show in the list:

Linking a Prescription to Client Note

You can also link a prescriptions from the client note with "More > Link to Prescription." This will launch the popup for you to link the prescription to an existing note.

Allergies

You can enter allergies in the eRx UI and receive warning when there is an interaction issue. Allergies will also show on the patient record.

Issues with your Prescriptions?

You can email Scriptsure support with any issues regarding your prescriptions at support@dawssystems.com.

FAQ:

1) Does it input diagnosis codes for you when sending a prescription?

Yes, you can input diagnosis when prescribing. This currently does not pull from the diagnosis in the note of chart.

2) Will IntakeQ need us to input all the prescriber's DEA numbers?
Yes, you will need to have an account for each separate DEA number. If needed, you can send all through a single DEA, having the supporting staff request the medications and have the prescribers approve it in their queue.


3) Where would we be able to see the prescription note if a refill had been sent?
You can see notes within the UI.


4) Will IntakeQ have the capability to send online pharmacy orders such as Capsule?
Yes. 


5) How easy would it be to send over prescriptions to a pharmacy? Would we be able to add a pharmacy from a list that is generated through intakeQ? For example, a mom and pop pharmacy, how can we send over a prescription?

95% of pharmacies in the US are on Surescripts and therefore in ScriptSure. If you see one that isn't, let us know and we can inquire.


6) When Q1 2023 comes along and IntakeQ has the capability to send Lab Orders would there be an extra cost associated or would that be included in the $55 per provider for sending prescriptions?
No, there will be no charge for Labs.


7) How will integration work if already using another platform to send over prescriptions?
If you switch, you will not need the the other platform anymore. The drug history can be downloaded (with consent) into the practiceQ eRX option and you would start prescribing from there.


8) How will prescribing controlled substances work?
You will need to provide your DEA number on sign-up and authenticate with ID me. There are a few options to authenticate. You can use your phone, FOB or verify using another device.
