E-prescribing g8553

I have been informed that our physicians need to start using this G8553 code again for PQRI.

However the G8553, states at least one prescription was created during the encounter and sent electronically.

Is there a separate code that states the opposite? That a prescription was created but NOT sent electronically, per patient request?

I am unable to locate one if one exists. PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you,

re: E-PRESCRIBING G8553

No, there is no code. The first year you had to report that a prescription was not sent electronically. Now they just want to know you have a system for e prescribing. It is separate from PQRI. In 2011 you must report 25 times to get paid the bonus and at least 10 times to avoid getting a payment reduction in 2012.
So...just report the code for the next 25 patients for each doc when you send a prescription electronically and you are done (but send at least 30 just in case...)
