Pharmacy Prescriptions for Refugees of Disasters – Authorizes a pharmacist in Tennessee, in good faith, to dispense prescription medication for up to 20 days to a patient who is displaced by a declared disaster. • Allows prescription information to be obtained from a prescription label, verbal medical order, verbal prescription order, or any other means determined to be legitimate by the pharmacist. • It would not apply to narcotics. • This would immensely simplify the process when we do have refugees of a natural disaster, like we did after Hurricane Katrina.
