There have been reports that when patients present a valid prescription for a controlled substance to their pharmacy that they are being told that it cannot be filled, that NPs in Florida cannot prescribe controlled substances.

Please comment to this post your experience in this regard and include the county or counties that your practice serves so that FNPN can best focus efforts towards educating our colleagues and ultimately improving access to care. Comments regarding  whether or not your patients have or have not had pushback are valuable.
