(a) The practitioner may issue a prescription
for a Schedule II, III, IV or V controlled substance electronically if an

stores, and transmits the prescription accurately and consistently and that
individual practitioner has obtained a two-factor authentication credential for

possible after signature by the practitioner and the contents of the

certification has found that the pharmacy application accurately and

prescription shall only be transmitted to the pharmacy of the patient's
choice.
(e) The pharmacist is
responsible for assuring the validity of the electronically transmitted
prescription.
