The permission to dispense medication is contingent upon the regulations of each specific state. While each state has its own distinct regulations, there are five states—Massachusetts, Montana, New York, Texas, and Utah—where medication dispensing is more tightly regulated. In most cases, licensed medical professionals such as physicians, physician assistants, registered nurses, and nurse practitioners are responsible for the dispensing process.

3. Confidentiality: In-office medication dispensing ensures patient confidentiality, as prescriptions are filled and discussed in a private healthcare setting.
4. Added Value: Setting up Point of Care Dispensing from within your office allows you to capture additional value while increasing patient satisfaction and compliance
