Prescribers seeking confidentiality protection with the Maine Health Data
Organization to prohibit carriers, pharmacies, and prescription drug
information intermediaries from licensing, using, selling, or exchanging for
value prescription drug information for any marketing purpose that identifies
those prescribers are required to complete the following electronic form.
Rule reference: 90-590 MAINE HEALTH DATA ORGANIZATION; Chapter 280: FILING
REQUIREMENTS FOR PRESCRIBERS SEEKING CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTION.
Important Notice to prescribers:
The Maine Legislature has enacted a statute which allows a licensed Maine health
care provider who is authorized to prescribe and administer drugs to elect not
to allow insurance carriers, pharmacies or prescription drug information
intermediaries to sell or use his or her individually identifiable prescription
drug information for marketing purposes. The U.S. District Court in Bangor has
issued a preliminary injunction which prevents the Attorney General from
enforcing this statute. However, the Court has allowed certain non-enforcement
aspects of the statute to proceed, including allowing interested health care
providers to request that their prescription drug information not be sold or
used for marketing purposes by using the registration process on this webpage.
In the event you elect to request confidentiality protection, your request will
be duly filed, but your prescription drug information will remain subject to
marketing by carriers, pharmacies and prescription drug intermediaries unless
and until the preliminary injunction of the U.S. District Court is vacated. For
further information, you may reference the orders of the U.S. District Court by
the following links:
