Sec. 562.056. PRACTITIONER-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP REQUIRED

Latest version.

(a) Before dispensing a prescription, a pharmacist shall determine, in the exercise of sound professional judgment, that the prescription is a valid prescription. A pharmacist may not dispense a prescription drug if the pharmacist knows or should know that the prescription was issued on the basis of an Internet-based or telephonic consultation without a valid practitioner-patient relationship.
(b) Subsection (a) does not prohibit a pharmacist from dispensing a prescription when a valid practitioner-patient relationship is not present in an emergency.
