In addition to the federal requirements, Massachusetts state law requires:
- that a written prescription must be on a tamper-resistant form consistent with federal requirements for Medicaid. The requirement applies to all written prescriptions for drugs in federal Schedules II-V and Massachusetts Schedule VI. Massachusetts Schedule VI consists of all prescription drugs that are not in federal Schedules II-V.
- that below the signature line or the line provided for the prescriber to type his/her name there shall be a space in which the prescriber may indicate “no substitution.”
- that below the space provided for the prescriber to indicate “no substitution,” there shall be printed the words “Interchange is mandated unless the practitioner indicates ‘no substitution’ in accordance with the law.”
