Fla. Admin. Code R. 64B16-28.1035
A community pharmacy shall provide a private consultation area so all patients of the pharmacy will be able to obtain counseling without being overheard by others in the prescription dispensing area of the pharmacy. The consultation area must be accessible by the patient from the outside of the prescription dispensing area of the pharmacy without having to traverse a stockroom or the prescription dispensing area. In determining whether the area is suitable, consideration shall be given to the proximity of the counseling area to the check-out or cash register area, the volume of pedestrian traffic in and around the consultation area, and the presence of walls or other barriers between the counseling area and the prescription dispensing area of the pharmacy. The consultation area may consist of designated private counter space. The area shall be designated with a sign bearing "Patient Consultation Area, " or words that are substantially similar.
