Pharmacist FAQsFrequently Asked Questions for Pharmacists on Deceased Prescribers Q: Under what circumstances can a pharmacist continue to dispense refills on a prescription written by a deceased prescriber? If the prescription has no refills remaining, Board Rule .1815 authorizes a pharmacist to provide a one-time emergency refill for up to a 90-day supply when the prescriber is “unable to provide medical services.” A prescriber’s death qualifies.
