The Florida Department of Health announced a notice of change to a May 15th proposed rule that would adopt regulations under FAC 64B-3 to provide a form and procedure to request a waiver of electronic prescribing requirements for prescribers facing economic hardship or technological limitations. The changes revise the form to require the location of the waiver site, a detailed description of the need for the waiver, a description of the practitioner’s current electronic prescribing capabilities, and the expected date the practitioner will be fully operational.
