Summary
Connecticut Medicaid temporarily suspended signature requirements for prescription pickup/delivery due to COVID-19, effective April 4, 2020. Pharmacies must still document dispensing with patient name, prescription number, medication name, date/time, and enter 'COVID' or 'C-19' on signature logs when signatures are not obtained.
Action Required
Immediately: Pharmacy staff must update signature logs to include 'COVID' or 'C-19' notation when patient signatures cannot be obtained for prescription pickup/delivery. Continue documenting patient name, prescription number, medication name, and date/time of dispensing. Ensure telephone counseling is offered to all patients per federal and state requirements.
