Summary

Connecticut Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid) now accepts facsimile, electronic, or photocopy prescriptions for medical equipment and supplies, not just original pen-and-ink documents. All other prescription requirements remain the same, including required information fields and practitioner enrollment.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Update prescription documentation processes to accept facsimile, electronic, or photocopy prescriptions for Connecticut Medicaid MEDS claims. Ensure all prescriptions still contain required information: member details, diagnosis, detailed description, length of need, prescribing practitioner information, and signature. Verify prescribing practitioners are enrolled in CMAP with NPI included on prescriptions.
