059-6 Wyo. Code R. §§ 6-9 - Identification of a Patient
(a) The pharmacist or employee under
supervision must verify the identity of the person presenting a controlled
substance prescription to the pharmacy for dispensing. This may be done by
visual recognition. If identity is not established by visual recognition, a
driver's license or similar photo identification form is acceptable
documentation. The following information shall be recorded on the paper
prescription, if identification is utilized: name, type of identification, and
identification number.
(b) The name
of the person receiving the dispensed drug is to be recorded on the
prescription document, patient profile, or signature log, if an agent and not
the patient receives the drug.
(c)
This Section shall not apply to pharmacies that mail prescriptions to their
patients. A note shall be entered on the prescription or patient's profile with
the name and address of where the medication was mailed. Additionally, the date
of such mailing shall be entered.
