  • PART II:
    DESIGNATING AGENTS TO COMMUNICATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG ORDERS


     

    TERMS OF USE

    The State, Medical, and Pharmacy Board requirements located in your state, as well as the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), regulate the legal requirements for generating prescriptions for a legitimate medical purpose. DEA rules also explicitly define the use of agents to help facilitate the transmission of controlled substance prescription orders. The summary of the DEA rule is noted below, and the language in that rule serves as the foundation for terms of using our e-prescription portal.

    For a prescription for a controlled substance to be effective, the prescription must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose by an individual practitioner acting in the usual course of his/her professional practice. This determination is the sole responsibility of the practitioner and may not be delegated. The responsibility for the proper prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances is upon the prescribing practitioner, but a corresponding responsibility rests with the pharmacist who fills the prescription.

    A prescription may be prepared by the secretary or agent for the signature of a practitioner. Accordingly, an authorized agent may prepare a controlled substance prescription only based on the instructions of the prescribing practitioner as to the required elements of a valid prescription and then provide the prescription to the practitioner to review. The authorized agent does not have the authority to make medical determinations. For a controlled substance, the practitioner must personally sign the prescription, whether manually or electronically. The prescribing practitioner cannot delegate his or her signature authority. 21 CFR 1306.05(f)

    As noted above, the practitioner remains responsible for ensuring that the prescription conforms to State and Federal Laws and Regulations, and the practitioner cannot delegate to an agent the authority to make a medical determination of need for a controlled substance prescription. However, the prescriber may delegate the transmission of the prescription drug order to an authorized agent.
