Global Guidance
• We do not recommend using Sole Provider Program, Warrior in Transition, or any other “dummy” drug entries in CHCS– Rationale: Prescriptions for these “drugs” generate
valid, legal prescriptions on PDTS patient profiles
• We recommend utilizing the MTF Prescription Restriction Program which triggers MTF Lock-in warnings in CHCS/AHLTA when using SPP and/or WT entries

Global Guidance
• If you continue to “dummy” drug entries for prescriptions, we recommend setting up the drugs in a way that minimizes the impact of the associated valid prescription.– You can control the NDCs and costs that are reported
for “dummy” drug entries and prescriptions.

Minimizing the Impact of “Dummy” Drug Entries and Prescriptions
• Objective: maintain the effectiveness of the drug entry and minimize the impact on PDTS patient, provider, and site profiles.
• Solution: Multi-ingredient compound entry– Performs DUR checks and produces applicable drug
class warnings for each component NDC; must ENABLE Drug Checks
– Limitation: does not generate the DEA Overlap warning
– Presents on PDTS/M2 with a Pseudo NDC; components (e.g. morphine) are not included in reports

SPP/WTU Drug Entry: Why are they used?
• Mechanism to warn providers and pharmacy staff at the point of order entry and dispensing that this patient is on a sole provider program and/or a WT
• Mechanism to communicate the details of the situation, such as the PCM, secondary provider, contact number, risk status, and quantity limits
![Page 6: DoD Pharmacoeconomic Center The Impact of Sole Provider Program (SPP) / Warrior in Transition (WT) CHCS Drug Entries 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7b5503460f9492e73f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Pharmacy Data Transaction Service (PDTS)/ MHS Mart (M2)
• PDTS:– Contains prescription data from MTF’s, Mail Order
Pharmacy, and retail network pharmacies
• M2:– Contains medical and prescription information from
MTFs and purchased care sector– Prescription information originates from PDTS

DoD Pharmacoeconomic Centerwww.pec.ha.osd.mil
What are PDTS and M2 used for?
• Reporting: Utilization and cost reports generated from PDTS or M2 are used by local, service, and DoD level leadership– Monitoring prescribing and utilization trends– Projecting the impact of proposed changes
• Patient Safety: • Safety edits that automatically review the patient’s
profile for appropriate therapy• Identification of issues related to use of controlled
substances

DoD Pharmacoeconomic Centerwww.pec.ha.osd.mil
What is the Impact on PDTS/M2?
• ALL of these entries show up as valid prescriptions
• NDCs, Drug Quantity, and Costs have the most meaningful impact on PDTS/M2
![Page 9: DoD Pharmacoeconomic Center The Impact of Sole Provider Program (SPP) / Warrior in Transition (WT) CHCS Drug Entries 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7b5503460f9492e73f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Impact on decision-making:Real life examples
• NDC: – Increased number of Rx’s for controlled substances, including cocaine and
morphine, for active duty members
– Example: identified during the preparation in response to a Congressional
inquiry and media question • Cost/Quantity:
– Rx costs are used in determining drug expenditures and data integrity issues
– Example: $284,353.80/Rx for a SPP drug entry was identified by data integrity reports and review of expenditures for controlled substances
• Provider/Pharmacy IDs:– Used to identify fraud, abuse, and prescribing trends
– Example: X% of controlled substance prescriptions were written by Provider Y

How do I trigger the pseudo NDC in CHCS?
• Legal status: 0 – manufactured in pharmacy; compound
• NDC and quantities– Must add 2-8 NDCs
• Component quantities– Each NDC added must have a quantity greater than 0
– 0.001 (CHCS will not accept the leading 0) is the smallest quantity accepted
14
![Page 15: DoD Pharmacoeconomic Center The Impact of Sole Provider Program (SPP) / Warrior in Transition (WT) CHCS Drug Entries 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7b5503460f9492e73f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

DoD Pharmacoeconomic Centerwww.pec.ha.osd.mil
How do I minimize the cost of the prescription?
• Component quantities (ADN menu)– 0.001 (CHCS will not accept the leading 0) is the
smallest quantity accepted
• Local Cost = 0• Cost Flag
– Set to Local
• Prescription Quantity – 0.01 (CHCS will not accept the leading 0) is the
smallest quantity accepted

Drug File Template Summary
• Legal status: set up as a compound (0)
• NDCs: must be more 2-8 NDCs
• Quantities for each component: must be 1 or more (.001 recommended)
• Local cost = $0
• Cost flag = Local
• Prescription quantity = .01
![Page 20: DoD Pharmacoeconomic Center The Impact of Sole Provider Program (SPP) / Warrior in Transition (WT) CHCS Drug Entries 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7b5503460f9492e73f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
DoD Pharmacoeconomic Centerwww.pec.ha.osd.mil
Additional Considerations:Formulary Management Fields
• Formulary Status = FORMULARY• Inactive Date = populated or blank
– Some SPP processes rely on the drug entry being visible and available to providers and others rely on it being available only to pharmacy staff
• Comment = Reminder to determine RISK STATUS and QUANTITY LIMITS
• Max quantity = .01 or 1 (something low)• Max days supply = 365
20
![Page 21: DoD Pharmacoeconomic Center The Impact of Sole Provider Program (SPP) / Warrior in Transition (WT) CHCS Drug Entries 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7b5503460f9492e73f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DoD Pharmacoeconomic Centerwww.pec.ha.osd.mil
Additional Considerations:Formulary Management Fields
• Dispense complete container = YES, if you are using a default quantity of 1 or NO, if you are using .01
• Default Days Supply = 365• Default Quantity = .01 or 1 (something low)• Default Sig = Reminder to perform a profile
review• Continuable = YES, in case the patient is
admitted and is transferred

Additional Considerations:Prescription Information
• Sig = Sole provider and alternate name/contact info, in addition to risk status and quantity limits
• Provider = Sole provider, pharmacist involved in the SPP process, default provider– Default providers:
• MTF, OTHER (BM6666664): intended to be used for transfers of non-controlled substance prescriptions from one MTF to another MTF
• OTC, SELF CARE (BO6666664): intended to be used for OTC preparations
– Pros for using default provider: does not assign a valid prescription to a person; known default to exclude when tracking prescribing
– Cons for using default provider: not intended use, does not meet the needs of processes relying on the provider field to indicate the sole provider

DoD Pharmacoeconomic Centerwww.pec.ha.osd.mil
Additional Considerations:Prescription Information
• Non-compliance:– Some processes include marking the prescription as
“non-compliant”– Keeps the prescription on the active CHCS/AHLTA
profile– Reverses the prescription from PDTS

Summary• Using a multi-ingredient compound set-up in CHCS will:
• Generate DUR warnings identifying Sole Provider patients• Minimize the impact on reporting systems
• To trigger the multi-ingredient logic, you must:• Legal status: set up as a compound (0)• NDCs: must be more 2-8 NDCs• Quantities for each component: must be 1 or more (.001
recommended)
• To minimize the costs reported for these entries, you can:• Local cost = $0• Cost flag = Local• Prescription quantity = .01
