E-prescribing of Controlled Substances Now Possible with Application Approval
| | Controlled substances account for 11% of all prescriptions, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). For many physicians, maintaining two prescribing systems and workflows - a paper-based one for controlled substances and an electronic one for everything else - has been a significant obstacle to the broad adoption of e-prescriptions (eRx) and the rapid identification of prescription drug abusers who are stockpiling potentially addictive Schedule II drugs.

High Medical Spending Found in Unexpected Places
| | |
Quick: Where do insured Americans spend the most on healthcare? Miami? Los Angeles?
Nope. It's Anderson, Indiana, where people with employer-provided insurance spent an average of $7,231 on medical treatments. That's according to an analysis of 382 metropolitan areas examined by Thomson Reuters, a consulting firm that has one of the biggest databases of insurance claims from employers.
Anderson's spending level in 2009 was 76 percent above the national average of $4,104 per person, according to the analysis. Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ was also in the top 10 highest metro areas. Read more...

State Doesn't Have to Pay for Additional AHCCCS Coverage
| | |
Arizona does not have to pay for additional Medicaid coverage voters approved back in 2000, a Maricopa County Superior Court Judge has ruled.
The ruling is likely to result in as many as 250,000 low-income childless adults losing health insurance provided by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), the state's Medicaid program.
The case is the result of a suit brought by the Arizona Center for the Law in the Public Interest, which argued that the state has to honor Proposition 204, a voter initiative passed in 2000 to extend Medicaid coverage to all persons who live below the Federal poverty level. The reason is the 1998 Voter Protection Act - another voter-approved initative - that requires the Legislature from changing voter mandates. Read more...
