Massachusetts: Bill Would Offer Tax Breaks for E-Prescribers
Posted: July 24 2009
Physicians in Massachusetts will have one more reason to throw away their paper prescription pads if the state legislature passes a bill that provides tax incentives for e-prescribing. Under the bill, corporations with licensed physicians could take deductions for the cost of e-prescribing technology and associated infrastructure, labor and installation expenses.
