A provider enrolled with Surescripts and eligible to ePrescribe patient medications may need a supervising physician. The Additional Prescription Detail tab of the Medications module provides a list of supervising physicians.
To enable the Supervising Physician list, you must select the Supervising Physician Required check box on the ePrescribing tab of the Providers master file in File Maintenance. The Supervising Physician list enables you to select the default supervising physician, rendering provider, or any other provider who does not require a supervisor.
The following conditions apply when selecting a supervising physician.
