Michigan~ TRIPLICATES does your doctor have enough old forms or new ones?

[Guest guest]

Michigan too-

Within last 2 yrs- had mostly triplicates too

Only the last few months- six to be exact- it has changed to just one white

sheet...

Hi Deb, I don't know if things are the same in all states, but in Mi, we have

a yellow RX for Narcotics and a white RX for regular meds. A couple years back

we had those triple papers your talking about. I'm trying make since out of all

this. one time when we had the triple scripts my Dr showed me the file she had

to keep to show somebody every script that was wrote. So here, since we have the

single scripts now, just in a different color, are you saying our Drs aren't

having to report like they did before? Is Michigan doing something the other

states aren't? Personally I find it a bit nervous to go to the pharmacy to

present a yellow script. Anyone in line behind me knows I'm getting a narcotic,

even if they can't see what's on the script. But if this helps the Drs help the

right people, I guess it's a good thing. Without flies on the walls, Dr may be

more willing to help folks in pain.
