Kentucky News: Beware of Internet Prescriptions/Contracts
Published in the March 2007 Kentucky Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
Recent investigations by the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation, Kentucky State Police, and Kentucky Board of Pharmacy have identified various out-of-state pharmacies contacting pharmacies in Kentucky asking them to become a member of their network. In the past couple of years, one such pharmacy in Kentucky voluntarily closed and another pharmacy was closed with the cooperation of federal and state agencies. These pharmacies utilize the Internet, in whole or in part, to fill prescriptions for Kentucky patients without having a patient/practitioner relationship. The Board is cautioning pharmacists regarding this type of practice. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Board office.
