Maine LD239 allows retail pharmacies to operate remote dispensing sites in rural areas lacking adequate pharmacy services.
Maine LD239 directs the Maine Board of Pharmacy to establish rules for remote dispensing sites in rural areas. These sites must allow for the storage, preparation, packaging, labeling, and dispensing of prescription drugs. The rules must include requirements for remote oversight by a licensed pharmacist, minimum staffing, compliance with federal and state laws, record-keeping, and security procedures. Remote dispensing sites cannot operate until the rules are adopted by the board.
