What should a pharmacist do if he/she receives a paper or oral prescription that was originally transmitted electronically to the pharmacy?
A. The pharmacist must check the pharmacy records to ensure that the electronic version was not received and the prescription dispensed. If both prescriptions were received, the pharmacist must mark one as void. The pharmacy is responsible for verifying that the prescription was not received electronically and that no controlled substances were dispensed pursuant to the electronic prescription prior to filling the paper prescription. The paper prescription must comply with all DEA requirements for any paper prescription, including a manual signature.
