What is a VIPPS certification?
The VIPPS (Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites) certification, granted by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), is received by an online pharmacy when they show compliance with the licensing and inspection requirements of their state and to each state they dispense pharmaceuticals to. Pharmacies who have achieved a VIPPS seal have respected the patients’ rights to privacy, authentication and security of prescription orders, adhered to a recognized quality assurance policy, and provided a meaningful consultation between patients and pharmacists. Pharmacies may apply for the certification. A VIPPS hyperlink seal is displayed on the websites of those pharmacies that have been granted certification. By clicking on the seal, a visitor is linked to the NABP VIPPS site where verified information about the pharmacy is maintained.
