With US prescription fraud estimated at more than $5 billion annually, state governments are enacting legislation to deter counterfeiting and forgery. Concurrently, healthcare providers and pharmacists have been under increasing pressure from consumers, legislators and insurance organizations to improve the efficiency and quality of their services. That’s why more and more providers are seeking more secure, efficient methods of handling prescriptions.

Recognized for its innovation and expertise in document security, Standard Register provides effective solutions to deter fraud, minimize drug diversion and adverse drug events, and ultimately reduce professional liability.

ScripPlus® Secure Prescriptions
With multiple security features layered into your prescription stock, Taylor Communication’s ScripPlus program offers you an unparalleled level of security:

  • Heat-Sensitive Test Area Block of heat-sensitive ink shifts from blue to clear on original prescriptions when exposed to the warmth of a hand or breath. Helps pharmacists verify their authenticity
  • Vanishing Rx This heat-sensitive symbol changes from blue to clear when rubbed briskly to provide another way to authenticate an original prescription.
  • CopyBan Capture® This industry-leading copy protection displays "VOID" on the widest range of copier and scanner settings to deter counterfeiting attempts. Yet, the hollow image of the "VOID" pantograph does not obstruct Rx instructions.
  • Chemical “VOID” Chemically-protected paper displays "VOID" in three languages when attacked by a broad range of chemical agents.
  • Artificial Watermarks Hidden words appear on the back of an original prescription when viewed at a 45º angle or rubbed with a coin.
  • Laid Lines Unevenly spaced and sized diagonal lines are printed on the back of the prescription to make it difficult to modify an original prescription by cutting and pasting.
  • Microprint Borders on an original prescription are comprised of words and numbers which will reproduce as a solid line when copied. Visible at 5x magnification for proof of authentication.
  • Security Features List In compliance with the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs, a list of security features is printed on prescriptions.
  • SRC Background Design Unique trademarked pattern on the front of prescriptions guarantees the features above exist on the original documents.
