FACT SHEET FOR PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDERS AND DELEGATES In August 2013 statutory language was added to M.G.L Chapter 94C 24A to allow prescribers and dispensers, enrolled in the MA Online PMP, to have authorized support staff (delegates) obtain patient prescription information from the MA Online PMP on their behalf. An individual with a delegate account can assist health care providers in a busy practice or pharmacy by performing the queries for individual patients and loading files to run a batch look-up. There is no limit on the number of delegates a primary account holder can have and there is no limit on how many primary account holders a delegate can be authorized to work on behalf of. When establishing a delegate account for someone who is already a delegate under one or more other primary account holders, make sure to use the same first name, middle name, last name and four digit birth month and day for each application. If an individual is a delegate for more than one primary account holder, they must use a different username and password for each primary account holder. This one to one relationship is necessary for monitoring and auditing. Prescription records are protected health information and proper use of the MA Online PMP is the responsibility of the delegate and the primary account holder for whom they are querying the MA PMP. A primary account holder will have the right to request the audit records for their authorized delegates. The Terms and Conditions for Primary Account Holders and the Terms and Conditions for Delegates can be accessed at www.mass.gov/dph/dcp/maonlinepmp. To complete the delegate enrollment form you will need the following information for the primary account holder and delegate.
