I have a current situation where I've been instructed that I (licensed SC Optician) am not able to copy RX information from a PT's chart to the OD's prescription pad. This information is being passed down from a manager that is unlicensed and also a district manager that has no retail experience at all. I've looked on south carolina's code of laws and cannot find a concrete answer on this topic. I've worked in two different locations for the same company, and this was never an issue before. The previous location had a license(not me) that would fill out RX pads and sign for the Dr. (Under the Dr's supervision and permission). Any information would be greatly appreciated, or direction on where to look.
PS. I called our state board today and they directed me to the SC CODE OF LAWS. That really didn't answer my question.
Thanks again,
-Brandon.
