Prescription Delays?

Have you been asked to provide information for a collaborating physician or other provider on a prescription that you’ve written?

There is no statutory or regulatory requirement under the Illinois PA Practice Act (225 ILCS 95/), the Illinois Controlled Substances Act (720 ILCS 570/), or pharmacy regulations (68 Ill. Adm. Code 1330) that a PA include the name of a collaborating physician on a prescription (except in very narrow cases for some discharge prescriptions).

Pharmacists who refuse to fill a valid prescription based on unsupported or incorrect legal grounds may be in violation of professional standards under the Illinois Pharmacy Practice Act (225 ILCS 85/).
