By 2009, the state employee health plan will<br />
require all in-network pharmacies to accept<br />
e-prescribing. By 2011, all network providers must<br />
e-prescribe. Failure to meet these deadlines could<br />
mean removal from the network. Physicians who<br />
do not comply with the 2011 e-prescribing deadline<br />
will not be reimbursed for treating state employees.<br />
