Out-of-state Schedule II prescriptions can be filled in California only if they meet the controlled substance prescription requirements of the state where they were written. California will accept and fill the prescription as long as it complies with that issuing state’s rules (such as who may prescribe, legitimate medical purpose, and the proper form and timing requirements). The California pharmacist does not need a California DEA number for the prescriber, nor is a California physician’s signature required on the out-of-state prescription. Verification with the issuing state’s board is not a separate CA requirement.
