ePrescribe: Download Medication History for Clients
Access your client's medication history with a few simple steps.
Note: Only users registered as Prescribers in PracticeQ are permitted to download a client’s medication history.
- This function uses the provider’s NPI number to access national medication databases.
- Supporting users cannot perform this task, even if they are assigned to a provider.
- If medication history is needed, the provider must log in and perform the download.

Download the Medication History
Note: Medication History is not guaranteed for all clients. Patients without insurance, medications paid by cash, or patients who have requested their medical history NOT be exposed to providers can cause the medication history check to be completed successfully but return NO DATA.
You can download the medication history in two ways, both from the Prescription tab on the client profile:
1. Click the Medication Download button. This gives you a quick glimpse into their medication history. Note: This is a read-only view.
2. Click the Manage Prescriptions button. Download and view the history at the bottom of the popup.
From this list, you can also click the green arrow on the right to add to the current medication list and have it display in PracticeQ:
