Benefits
  • “VOID" becomes visible discouraging unauthorized copying or scanning
  • Artificial Watermark on the reverse side cannot be copied and can only be seen at an angle
  • Toner adhesion coating deters tape lifting information
  • Chemical Reactive Paper provides evidence of chemical alteration attempts
  • Micro-printing displays a microscopic message that fills in to form a solid line when digitally scanned or copied
  • Heat Sensitive Rx symbol changes color when rubbed or heated

Providers Affected
  • All physicians, practitioners, and other providers who prescribe Medicaid outpatient drugs, including over-the-counter drugs, in states that reimburse for prescriptions.
  • Pharmacists and pharmacy staff especially should be aware of this requirement as it may affect reimbursement for prescriptions.
  • Applicable regardless of whether Medicaid is the primary or secondary payer of prescriptions being filled.


Several states have laws and regulations concerning mandatory, tamper-resistant prescription pad programs. States are free to exceed the baseline standards. Each state must decide whether they will accept prescriptions written in another state with different tamper-proof standards.
