US. 30 day prescriptions by [anonymous PPO] at private pharmacy. [anonymous PPO] is crappy sometimes and will charge 2 copays for instance for 120mg of Cymbalta because they don't believe that more than 60 mg is necessary. No matter how much Seroquel is prescribed it is still $100 give or take. Generics are generally loved as all insurance companies. Psycotherapy and psychopharmacology is private pay and origin of prescriptions.
Prescriptions in [state] must be written on tamper proof script pads (no receipt side). Law introduced and use of triplicates are eliminated for C-II. C-IV can be phoned in, I believe a paper copy has to be eventually made. 6 refills for most category prescriptions and 6 months.
Prescriptions can be transferred to pharmacies across state lines with whatever red tape each state has. I doubt C-II can be transferred without a written or faxed prescription.
Prescriptions can be written for use or for any medically justified off label by any MD. Some states allow non-category (not C-V, etc.) prescriptions to be written by psychiatric RNs (psychiatric nurses).
