Ordering Medical Supplies
You can order medical supplies by writing out a standard prescription with your fax number and giving it to your patients.
The minimum required information that must be included on that prescription include
1. name, address, phone/fax of ordering MD, NPI/license number
2. name of patient
3. original signature of the physician
4. name of the items ordered, quantity, number of refills, the date ordered, and directions if needed.
5. brief medical justification for the items being ordered.
Once a local pharmacy or supply company receive the prescription, they will mail you a more official order form or medical justification form to sign.
