SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Typed, preprinted, and electronically printed prescriptions. Requires the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate regulations requiring practicing prescribers who are authorized to prescribe controlled substances to issue written prescriptions that have been typed, preprinted, or electronically printed, and signed by the prescriber to ensure accuracy in compounding, processing, dispensing, or the disposal of drugs and devices. The written prescriptions must comply with the provisions of subsection A of § 32.1-87 and subsection B of §54.1-3408.01, which establish a prescription blank format accommodating the Virginia Voluntary Formulary. The provisions of this bill do not affect the exception for dispensing a controlled substance pursuant to out-of-state prescriptions, or the issuance of oral prescriptions and standing protocols, or the transmission of written prescriptions by electronic communications, as provided by law.
