What is a Provider Agent?

A Provider Agent is a staff user that a Provider has designated to transmit legend (not controlled) prescriptions on their behalf.  These Provider Agents may send a prescription to the pharmacy, and the provider will receive a notice to sign the transmitted prescription. If you reside in the state of NY or GA, you cannot add a provider agent.
