Searching a Medication

You can perform extended searches for medications using the medication search field on the New Rx view. If you have set up the ePCS permissions, the search results display the controlled substances (CS) medication in red with the respective Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) class codes: c1,c2,c3,c4, and c5. For NextGen Healthcare clinics and providers with appropriate permission, you can perform a formulary search to display a list of medications with one of the following formulary eligibility icon.

• - Preferred - This drug is preferred over all other drugs under the same therapeutic category.
• - On Formulary - This drug is authorized for reimbursement for the payer.
• - Unknown - The selected payer does not provide information for the medication under the selected formulary.
• - Non-Formulary - Specified by the payer as not on the formulary or is on the formulary at a higher co-pay level. This may or may not be reimbursable.
• - Not Reimbursed - The payer does not pay for this drug. The patient is required to pay for the medication if they choose to do so.
