Insurance and regulatory

State board of pharmacy

The vocabulary of getting a claim paid, of FDA enforcement, and of what on-label and off-label really mean.

Definition

The state agency licensing pharmacies and pharmacists, and disciplining them. Licensure is state by state, which is why a pharmacy can be authorized to ship to one state and not the next — and why a seller's coverage map and its pharmacy's map do not always agree.
