Oregon Physician Dispensing Laws & Regulations

Note: PharmaLink has compiled the information below for reference only. State dispensing regulations change frequently and we recommend consulting an attorney or your state medical or pharmacy board with specific questions or to verify your eligibility to dispense.
Physicians in Oregon can dispense medications to their patients in the ordinary course of practice once they are registered as a dispensing physician. Registering as a dispensing physician requires a simple application with the Oregon Medical Board and is designated on the physician’s state medical license. The current dispensing physician registration form can be found here. As always, all state and federal regulations must be followed when dispensing, including drug storage and labeling requirements.

Mid-level dispensing (PA dispensing and NP dispensing) varies from state to state, even in states where physicians may dispense. If you are unsure whether or not you may dispense in your state, please contact us for more information.
