I was just wondering if anybody in here has ever tried calling in a script to a pharmacy? And if not I was wondering if anybody knows what exactly the doctor says to the pharmacist when they call in? I'm guessing they'd probably just say their name, give them their DEA #, and then of course what the script is that they're calling in. Anyways if anybody has had any experience with this, or knows anything about the process...please share...
Don't even bother trying it unless you want to spend a day in a jail cell facing some Serious Felony charges of impersonation and posseion of a controlled substance. A Doctor needs a ID number that Doctors have to call in a script. for harder drugs like OC's, Dilauid,Desoxyn,Pharmacutical Coke,etc they can't call them in and need to give the patient a triple script. Not worth even thinking about it !!!!
And,, After you spend your time in jail,you will be blacklisted in the statewide computer and never be able to fill any scripts of any kind,If it was as easy as a fake call in, you would have known by now and the whole world would be medicated! as Sho said,not even worth thinking about it!
Well faking prescriptions really isn't that tough, so I figured calling in wouldn't be that tough either...
Maybe faking prescriptions for Schedule III, IV and V substances isn't too hard, but for a CII substance the doctor needs to call the insurance company and the pharmacy and the insurance company calls the pharmacy and blah blah blah.
So this response is for coffster98: Disclaimer: Neither I or anybody I know has every tried this, nor do I advocate or condone anything that's about to be said, I'm simply pointing out a weak point in the system that could be exploited if one had the proper motivation. Many scripts that are written to patients are mailed, and therefore they are typed up on a computer, printed on regular printer paper and then signed and sent to the patient. Well these particular scripts are very easy to scan (or just make yourself on microsoft word). Once scanned they can be photoshopped to change the date of the prescription, erase the signature, and change the name of the patient if neccessary. And if you want to be real tricky you can change the phone # on the script to that of a trac phone that you have purchased at your local 7-11 with a fake answering machine on it. Once the fake script is printed out and signed you wanna make sure you don't take the script in till after 5 o'clock (or whenever the doctors office closes) to minimize the chances of the pharmacists reaching anybody when they call in the script (but hopefully they'll just be calling your trac phone anyways). And because many patients need their medication immediately, the pharmacists will not make you wait till the next day when they can verify it to fill it (hopefully). And you're script will usually be filled within 15-20 min. which is far to little time for anybody to become suspicious (without you knowing) and far too little time for the police to respond if for some reason the process goes wrong. And voila! you have exploited the system! But once again for all you guys that are probably gonna yell at me, I am not advocating any of this, in fact it is very illegal and if you get caught you will most certainly end up with a felony on your record. But I just thought I'd share a little insight on a weakness that I noticed...
