That starting in July, in Florida, if a patient wants his prescription
filled
else where he can bring his Rx into a branch of a chain near his Dr's office
or hospital or clinic etc, and have it filled and picked up at another
pharmacy in that chain ie; say one near his home, as long as it is in
Florida?
Is it also true already in Florida, that an item filled by a tech at store
A of a chain, can be checked via computer screen by a pharmacist
at store B of that chain, even if the two are hundreds of miles apart?
If that is true, what is next, tech fills the Rx in Fla, and a Florida
licensed pharmacist in Bangladesh, or Malaysia can check the
prescription via computer screen. The outsourcing of pharmacist
operations seems to have already started.

Excuse me for top posting BUT this is kind of scary ... Seems I could
own my own store in Florida and still check and ok an Rx to be filled
while I am in Maine on vacation...???
Boy am I glad I retired !
