The Board of Pharmacy issued a proposed rule to amend and adopt regulations under 21 NCAC 46 to establish new requirements for limited-service permits for certain pharmacies where services are provided by pharmacist-managers serving multiple pharmacies. The rule also would allow pharmacist-managers to be present at limited-service permits for less time than at regular pharmacy permits, allow pharmacist-managers to designate an assistant pharmacy-manager for limited-service permits, and provide that pharmacist-managers do not need to personally package drugs dispensed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants, among other conforming changes. A hearing is scheduled for July 20, 2021, via webcast and teleconference. Comments are due July 20, 2021.
