Under what circumstances may a pharmacist in Washington fill prescriptions written in another state?

  1. Only for non-controlled substances

  2. Only for over-the-counter drugs

  3. If the prescriber is licensed in any state or certain territories

  4. Never, it's not allowed

The correct answer is: If the prescriber is licensed in any state or certain territories

Pharmacists in Washington may fill prescriptions written in another state if the prescriber is licensed in any state or certain territories. Option A is incorrect because pharmacists in Washington may also fill prescriptions for controlled substances written by out-of-state prescribers with valid DEA numbers. Option B is incorrect because over-the-counter drugs do not require a prescription. Option D is incorrect because, as stated, filling prescriptions written in another state is allowed under certain circumstances.
