Misconduct And Your Pharmacy License

Is Your License In Danger?

It takes years of study to gain the knowledge required of a pharmacist and to earn a pharmacy license, and a lot of money. Your license must be treated with utmost care: if a pharmacist’s license is threatened, so too is their career. Pharmacists must act swiftly upon receiving any complaint or knowledge of an investigation into their work. If this applies to you, contact a professional license defense attorney right away. Remington & Dixon is an experienced North Carolina law firm to help protect your pharmacist license. Call our office today.

What Leads To Investigation

The North Carolina Board of Pharmacy receives and investigates complaints about pharmacists in the state. These may include:

  • A pharmacist smelling like alcohol on the job.
  • A pharmacist making inappropriate advances or comments.
  • A pharmacist using illegal substances or diverting medications at work.
  • Pharmacy fraud, including filling a prescription with the knowledge that it is falsified.
  • Any complaint to the Board can trigger an investigation. No matter the subject of the investigation, pharmacists should contact an attorney if they are being investigated.

Pharmacy Fraud

All kinds of pharmacy fraud are highly illegal and can lead to very severe consequences for a pharmacist who engages in fraudulent activities.

Billing for the wrong kind of medication, including billing for a brand name prescription while giving the patient a generic, is pharmacy fraud.

Billing and insurance company for a fake prescription is another kind of pharmacy fraud that happens regularly.

Sometimes substance abusers and opportunists steal prescription pads and use them to fill fraudulent prescriptions. A pharmacist must be aware of such practices and always detect falsified prescriptions. Not doing so can harm your license and career.

FAQs

Are consultations free?

While we offer a free consultation on traffic matters, criminal matters, and some professional license defense cases (if you have a pending Board complaint), we charge a fee for family law consultations to personalize our consultations to your specific needs. To learn about our fee structure, please get in touch.

Where can I get legal advice?

We recommend meeting with an attorney. While there is free legal help available for North Carolina residents from pro bono resources for civil matters, and public defenders for criminal cases, the best way to access tailored advice is to hire a lawyer.

Can I hire you if I’m in another state?

This is done on a case by case basis if you are involved in a family law, criminal, or professional disciplinary matter that involves another jurisdiction.
