Independent Pharmacies:
Make sure your directory of e-prescribing physicians is up-to-date.
In order to send prescription renewal authorization requests
electronically to all eligible prescribers in your area, your
pharmacy software must be updated with a valid Surescripts Provider
Identifier (SPI) number for each prescriber activated for
electronic renewals. Your software vendor can provide this
information to you, usually electronically. However, you can
also generate an online report that will provide you with SPI
information for all prescribers activated for this service via the
Surescripts network.
Please enter your NCPDP ID, your zip code, and your preferred mile
radius. You will then see the names and associated SPI information
for each prescriber activated for electronic prescription renewals
within the mile radius you selected. Note that in Part 2 of the
report you will see a listing of physicians in that same mile
radius that are enabled to send new prescriptions but are not yet
activated for electronic renewals. You do not need to enter any
information into your system for these prescribers however we
thought you might be interested in seeing which prescribers are
enabled to send you new prescriptions electronically.
