The secured printing solution is available now for hospitals, clinics, and physician's offices.
The Star Micronics' TSP800Rx Prescription Printer tackles both the "tamper resistant" and "handwriting legibility" challenges of traditional prescriptions while solving the Medicaid Program Section 1903b (i) of the Social Security Act (42 USC193b) (i), paragraph (23). The new requisition for "tamper resistant" or electronic prescriptions for reimbursement for all Medicaid prescriptions having a proposed deadline of October 1, 2007 and a proposed extension of March 31, 2008 by the NCPA (National Community Pharmacists Association) reinforces the premises and existence of the TSP800Rx printer. Direct thermal printing itself is tamper resistant, any alteration performed on the paper results in a black mark or darkened circle on the paper.
A forged partnership between Star Micronics and a company synonymous to fraud protection, Standard Register, has advanced direct thermal paper technology and thermal prescription printing into an anti-fraudulent and security classification. Standard Register's advanced development of thermal security paper containing individual bar codes for each script for identification and tracking, authenticity test patches for pharmacists of chromatic ink and unique void pantograph backgrounds are the only a few of the chosen features of this highly specialized paper.
