Thank you for the webinar it is very helpful to know what areas to pay more attention while preparing for exam. I moved to Florida three weeks ago and now getting into studying for mpje here. Thank you very much. Would love to know more about your review webinar
Thanks for the comments. Our live review, The Florida MPJE Boot Camp is scheduled for June 6, 2020. You can get more information and register here: www.floridapharmacylaw.com/mpje-bootcamp
Hi! I wonder if you had the 7-hour webinar? If so, did you recorded? Is there any way I can access it? Of course, paying the access fee. I'll be taking MPJE in two weeks and I came across this video. I will buy the book for sure, I've been reading the rules and statues, but like you said, they are all over the place
Hi Laura, You can register for the access to the Webinar called The Florida MPJE Boot Camp on our website www.floridapharmacylaw.com It is a nearly 8-hour course with 6 videos. You can also download an update and corrections document to the book there.
We originally planned to make the June 6th Boot Camp available as an on-demand course, but for a variety of reasons we were unable to do that. I am currently re-recording another Boot Camp and hope to have that available as an on-demand course in the next few weeks.
Can a pharmacist make changes including name, strength, dosage form, and quantity of CII Rx after speaking with the prescriber in FL? Federal law says essential elements cannot be modified orally but FL law says they can..?
Can you central fill for CII prescriptions in Florida? When I looked it up, it looks like you can’t under federal law but you can under FL law. In this case, do I follow stricter law which is federal or FL law since it’s a FL exam?
You always follow the stricter rule, but where are you getting your information that you can't do central fill for Schedule II controlled substances? I don't think that is done very often because central fill generally works better for refills and there are no refills for Schedule IIs, but DEA rule 21 CFR 1306.15 specifically allows central fill for Schedule II controlled substances.
If there's no legal limit to the days supply for prescribing a C-II, then why would a prescriber ever write 3 Rx's that add up to a total of the max allowable 90 day supply? Why not just write one 90-day supply RX? I don't get it. This must be wrong.
You are correct that this makes no sense, but legally it is correct. This is just one of those weird inconsistencies in pharmacy law. Because there is not a days' supply limit on a single controlled substance prescription, the rule that allows multiple prescriptions issued at the same time with a 90-day supply limit was technically not needed. Normally DEA doesn't consider reimbursement issues when writing rules, but what was happening was many insurance plans wouldn't cover more than a 30 days' supply of controlled substances, so patients (mainly parents with children on Schedule II ADHD drugs) had to get a new written prescription every month. (Of course, this is not an issue as much with electronic prescriptions). Rather than having physicians post-date multiple prescriptions which DEA has never allowed (and still doesn't allow), they adopted the rule allowing multiple prescriptions to be issued at the same time, but put a 90-day total supply limit when they did. States may have limits on a single Schedule II prescription, but there is not one federally. Another one that doesn't make sense is Schedule III-V prescriptions are only valid for 6 months because the refills are limited to 5 in 6 months, but there is not expiration date for a Schedule II prescription under federal law. Again, states may have stricter rules. These are the types of Study Tips we provide in the review book and review course we offer.
