Enter medications for patient
Path: Patient>Clinical>Medications
Note: When you change an existing medication or add a new medication, a supplemental order is generated in the HCFA-485 form. If the HCFA-485 form is not created yet, the medication will be included in that form when it is generated. This only applies if the patient's insurance requires HCFA-485 and is set up to generate it.
