Idaho Written Collaborative Pharmacy Practice Agreement for Pharmacists
Required. The Written Collaborative Pharmacy Practice Agreement is the written instrument Idaho law names for a Pharmacist working with a physician. Below: the board that governs it, what it must contain, and the terms it has to carry.
Represents Idaho's collaborative pharmacy practice tier (authorized since at least 1998), not ordinary licensure — base dispensing and Idaho's separate independent pharmacist-prescribing rules (IDAPA 24.36.01.350, for specific drug categories) are out of scope here. No independence pathway away from the CPA itself was found.
What a Idaho Written Collaborative Pharmacy Practice Agreement must contain
Governed by the Idaho State Board of Pharmacy. Each numbered item is a statutory requirement the agreement must satisfy.
The Pharmacist may select, initiate, or modify a patient's drug therapy ("drug therapy management") pursuant to a written collaborative pharmacy practice agreement with the Physician, as provided by Idaho Code § 54-1705. The agreement shall identify the parties, the Pharmacist's authorized scope of practice, and any monitoring parameters clinically warranted.

Idaho law does not require the agreement to be filed with the Idaho State Board of Pharmacy in advance, but the Parties shall keep an accessible copy and produce it to the Board upon request.

Prescriptive authority
Covered by the practice agreement · controlled substances permitted
May provide patient care and drug-therapy-management services under a written collaborative practice agreement with one or more prescribers (IDAPA 24.36.01). Controlled-substance schedule limits within a CPA were not separately confirmed in this research pass.
Written agreement
Required
Practice ownership (corporate practice of medicine)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — Idaho's Board of Pharmacy rules do not require pharmacist ownership of the permit-holding entity; a licensed pharmacist-in-charge retains professional control over dispensing.
Not independently confirmed against current IDAPA 24.36.01 text in this research pass — treat the ownership breadth as likely but unverified.

About Idaho's rules
Idaho APRNs (NP/CRNA/CNM/CNS) have full independent practice authority. The Idaho Board of Medicine formally disavowed corporate-practice-of-medicine enforcement in March 2016 — physicians, NPs, PAs, and (per this research pass) even non-licensees may generally co-own a standard business entity, so long as licensed professionals actually deliver the care.
