Frequently Asked Questions on Inter- and Intra-Pharmacy Remote Medication Order Processing

 

Q: May North Carolina-permitted pharmacies engage in remote medication order processing arrangements?

A: Yes.  Board rule .1816 authorizes two pharmacies to enter into a remote medication order processing arrangement.  This guidance document provides a detailed review of standards governing such arrangements. Note that pharmacists providing remote medication order processing services from an out-of-state pharmacy permitted in North Carolina must either hold an individual North Carolina license to practice pharmacy or a current NABP Verify credential.  This document provides detailed instructions on how out-of-state pharmacists may obtain an NABP Verify credential and register with the Board as required by Rule .1816.

Board rule .2515 authorizes pharmacies to deploy their pharmacy personnel employees to perform remote medication order processing services from outside the pharmacy.  This document provides a guide to Rule .2515’s operation.
