Rx Open
Healthcare
Ready’s Rx Open is an interactive map
that helps patients and providers find nearby open pharmacies in areas
impacted by disaster. The map will be updated daily throughout the federally
declared disaster. If pharmacies find their status is not consistent with
what is shown on Rx Open, please notify Healthcare Ready at ContactUs@HealthcareReady.org.
Emergency Preparedness
Refill Too Soon Edit Override
Reminder: NCPDP members approved the most effective method for overriding
refill too soon type reject during a disaster: using the Submission
Clarification Code 13 - Payer-Recognized Emergency/Disaster
Assistance Request. The pharmacist is indicating that an override is needed
based on an emergency/disaster situation recognized by the payer. Access more
