Provider Feedback on Program
Common Praise/Appreciation Reported
– “I would not have done ePrescribe unless it was offered for free by
BCBSNC. However, I like it so much, I would have purchased the
service. BCBSNC helped me over the initial hurdle.”
– ePrescribe Provider
– “Love it! Amazing! Hope that my "percentage use" is not a major
criteria in being allowed to continue using it.”
- ePrescribe Provider
– “The #1 help is the formulary status of individual medication. The
local pharmacy likes it. Patients like it because it is speeds up filling of
their Rx.”
- ePrescribe Provider
– You are truly making a difference in minimizing prescription errors... I
can only hope more physicians follow your lead”
