Yes, Wisconsin pharmacies may legally fill or refill prescription orders from practitioners practicing in another state, if they are licensed in another state and recognized by Wisconsin as a person authorized to prescribe and administer drugs. This includes prescription orders for controlled substances. However, prescription orders for controlled substances are only valid for practitioners having a current federal drug enforcement registration number. A pharmacist should inquire further regarding a practitioner’s authority to prescribe if the pharmacist, using professional judgment, is concerned that the prescription order might not be valid.
