Effective July 1, 2011, counterfeit-proof prescription blanks must be used by licensed health care practitioners who prescribe controlled substances listed in Chapter 893, Florida Statutes. Section 456.42(2), Florida Statutes, was amended requiring licensed healthcare practitioners purchase counterfeit-proof prescription blanks from vendors approved by the Department of Health. Vendors approved by the Department of Health are required to provide monthly reports to the Department, documenting who purchased the prescription pad or blanks and how many were purchased.

A: Prescriptions for controlled substances must be written on a counterfeit-proof pad produced by an approved vendor or electronically prescribed.
Q: What are the requirements for a written prescription?
A: The requirements for a written prescription are outlined in section 456.42, F.S.
Q: Do I have a grace period to use my old prescription blanks?
A: HB 7095requires written prescriptions for controlled substances listed in section 893.03, F.S. to be on counterfeit-proof prescription blanks. The Supplemental Order 01# signed by State Health Office and Surgeon General Dr. H. Frank Framer on July 6, 2011 suspends this requirement for health care practitioners to use counterfeit-proof prescription blanks for 60 days. This runs concurrent with the July 1, 2011 Public Health Emergency Declaration which ends August 29, 2011.
