What distance must the supervising pharmacy and the remote telepharmacy site be within?

Telepharmacy supervision is limited by geography to ensure the supervising pharmacist can adequately oversee the remote site. California law requires the supervising pharmacist to be within 150 miles of the remote telepharmacy site. That 150-mile cap is the maximum distance allowed, so the sites must be within that radius. Distances shorter than 150 miles are permissible, but anything beyond 150 miles would fail to meet the requirement.
