red flag

[lue13]

how do you know if you have been red flag by a pain doctor

[trixy71]

I read somewhere that they did put a limit on the amount of pills they will pay for recently. I don't remember where I read it, but you can usually find something on your particular states medicaid website. Hopefully you'll be able to confirm it.

Hi Mollyrae -- keep the faith, baby. You are in our hearts.

[silly62]

Does medicaid only pay for 120 pills they have cut me down true or false

[Mollyrae]

LOL Phil,

It's just a term used when the Doctor puts a red sticker on your record that  says NO MORE NARCOTICS.

:):):)

Actually, there is. It rests in the DEA database requiring centralized reporting whenever an opiate prescription is filed. It is used to identify "doctor shoppers". Frankly, I don't like the idea, but "what is, is". If a patient gets flagged on this list the pharmacy may refuse to fill the prescription and the physician refuse to write script. The DEA will notify the physician that his scripting writing authority for opiates may be suspended, and he is under a "watch". You will not see this notice, nor have access to it.

I'm not sure what "red flagging" means.

Your doctor can make a note in a chart. Most pharmacies have patient prescription monitoring systems in place for tracking users of controlled substances. Your pharmacist can make a comment in your record.

But there is no "red flag" system in place in this state or country of which I'm aware.

actually you do they wont perscribe anymore

the ER wont treat

and under patient rights act you can get copies of all records notes everything

i have 5 file cabinates full a thousand or more to get on dvd i have so many records but i can get and read everything

the state i go to other than mine the ER just turns the pc terminal around shows and explains everything on it that came up about me

i was flagged in the ER but my doctor had no clue and didnt do it it was a er only warning

read up on your state your rights know learn and enforce your rights

when we dont study and know our rights and how to ask or demand treatment we suffer not them

good luck best wishes

and in case there are debates 40 years of medical records 40 years of treatment and abuse so i know most rights and ways to get doctors to help without fights

[caregiver222]

You don't, unless he tells you. The records are maintained by the DEA and are confidential.
