Telemedicine has transformed how controlled substances are prescribed — and how pharmacies are scrutinized. Pharmacists didn't sign up to police online prescribers, but the DEA, state boards, and PBMs expect exactly that. This session breaks down the "corresponding responsibility" doctrine in the telemedicine era, from Ryan Haight Act compliance and EPCS verification to red flag recognition and encounter validation. Attendees will leave with practical, ready-to-use SOPs, checklists, and documentation templates — the same tools your pharmacy needs to fill telemedicine prescriptions confidently, defend against audits, and stay off regulators' radar.
Target Audience
This application-based course is intended for Pharmacists (ACPE) and Pharmacy Technicians.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the primary federal and state legal frameworks governing telemedicine prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances, including the Ryan Haight Act, DEA EPCS rules, and corresponding responsibility doctrine.
- Apply lessons from real-world enforcement actions and case studies to recognize red flags, validate telemedicine encounters, and make defensible dispensing decisions in compliance with DEA and Board of Pharmacy expectations.
- Develop pharmacy-level compliance strategies — including intake SOPs, prescriber verification checklists, PDMP documentation protocols, and PBM audit readiness tools — to mitigate regulatory and legal exposure in telemedicine practice.
