Dispensing practices must be in accordance with the best medical, pharmaceutical and economical practice.
Retail pharmacy providers may dispense up to a 34-day supply of brand name drugs and up to a 90-day supply of generic drugs. Mail order pharmacies may only dispense up to 90-day supplies of generic or brand-name drugs. When refilling a prescription through mail order, refills may be provided only at a participant's request; mail order pharmacies may not automatically refill prescriptions for participants.
Providers dispensing prescriptions via telepharmacy must obtain approval from the Department. Providers must assure that participant counseling is available at the remote site from the dispensing provider or the provider delivering the prescription, and that only qualified staff, as defined by the Maine State Board of Pharmacy, deliver prescriptions.
The Department may issue a request for proposals from labelers or manufacturers and issue a contract for the provision of generic drugs. Participant providers may be required by the Department to obtain a generic drug from labelers or manufacturers with which the Department contracts. The Department will notify providers and give instructions for compliance with this provision.
