Physician dispensing is not allowed in Texas aside from a handful of exceptions, such as rural clinics. It is often debated whether Texas should allow physician dispensing, and you can see some of the arguments on both sides in this article on the Texas Medical Association website.

Most states have exceptions for physicians in rural locations or in specific situations, and many states also allow physicians to carry items administered in the physician’s office (e.g. injections). If you think you may fit into one of the exceptions in Texas, please contact us today and a representative will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

In non-dispensing states, PharmaLink is able to offer mail-order medications as well as a digital card that physicians can provide to patients to allow them to pay for the medication at the physician’s office and not have any cash outlay at the pharmacy. If you’re interested in either of these solutions, please reach out to our team for more info.
