eRx Custom Denial Reasons
You can create and use unique denial reasons to explain why an electronic refill request is denied. Use the codes in the same way as the standard Surescripts denial codes. The custom codes give the physicians more options to select from when an electronic prescription must be denied for a specific reason. For example, physicians who are not ePCS-certified might create the custom code Cannot eRx Controlled Substances
to use if they receive refill requests for controlled substances. When a physician responds to an electronic refill request with a denial and selects a custom denial reason, the reason is sent through SureScripts to the pharmacy.
You can create custom denial reasons in File Maintenance from
