Q: Do I need a special license to dispense medications in my medical practice?

A: The state in which you practice medicine determines if a dispensing license is required. We will provide you information specific to your state and handle the initial application process if a dispensing license is necessary. For Example: In Florida, a dispensing license is $100 and is renewable with your current state medical license. The state board of pharmacy requires posting both a DEA and a State License within the practice. Back
