“The National House of Health Insurance (CNAS) informs insurance that they can raise the drugs from the pharmacy without having to present a specimen of the prescription printed on paper or electronically, when the current doctors prescribe them with and without personal contribution (compensated), using the electronic recipe.
Pharmacists can issue drugs by using the computer system of electronic prescription (SIPE), based on the national health insurance card or the replacement document that the insured patient must present at the pharmacy ”transmits CNAS.
Next, the institution explains that the electronic prescription is valid only in pharmacies that have a contract with a health insurance house, so we ask the beneficiaries to verify whether the pharmacy is addressed is a partner of CNAS.
“CNAS has taken measures to re-inform pharmacies and prescribers about the provisions of the framework contract and of the methodological norms for applying it regarding the procedure for prescribing and issuing medicines with and without personal contribution (compensated).
Available from 2023, but insufficiently known by doctors and patients, this regulation is the basis of the set of measures that are currently worked in CNAS, to implement the objective “zero paper” in the medical offices, which aims to eliminate all the printed forms.
This measure supports patients, simplifies the process of issuing drugs, reduces bureaucracy and paper consumption, while offering additional time for the medical activity itself ”transmits CNAS.
