Important Information: NCPDP SCRIPT Standard v2017071
We strive to consistently provide regulatory compliant applications prior to the deadlines to ensure you are prepared.

As a reminder, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has mandated 1/1/2020 as the compliance date for the adoption of NCPDP SCRIPT Standard v2017071. Surescripts support of older prescribing versions within EHR’s until 12/1/2020 is intended to support any necessary remediation and is not an extension to compliance.
These regulatory changes apply to any prescriber providing care to Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D patients.
The versions listed below are compliant with the NCPDP script standard: Practice Partner, Medisoft Clinical, or LytecMD 11.2.1 or higher. As of this date, the information provided by our prescribing partners indicates that your current technology version will allow electronic prescriptions to process after January 1, 2020. ONC has not released their final rule therefore, this information is subject to change.
For additional information regarding the regulatory implementation timelines, overviews, and Surescripts remediation deadlines, please refer to the links below. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact your Medicare representative.
