REMINDER: The Board of Pharmacy cancelled all the COVID waivers effective July 1. If there is a need for a COVID waiver, then a request to reapply must be made to the board.
Also in Oklahoma, beginning July 1, the Board of Pharmacy transitioned to an online system where all new licenses and license renewals must be paid for through the Board’s online store. The Board will only accept credit card payments (Mastercard or Visa) or Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT). For additional information, contact the Board.
Lastly in Oklahoma, the Board issued this reminder that the law on E-Scripts and OBNDD (Oklahoma Board of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs) prescription pads does not apply to prescribers practicing in a federal facility, including Indian Health Services/Tribal pharmacies. The Board explained this is because prescribers can work there and be licensed in another state and not be licensed in Oklahoma. Furthermore, the Board stated the prescriptions from these federal facilities are legal and appropriate to fill if all other requirements are met.
