Nebraska Written Practice Agreement for Pharmacists
Required. The Written Practice Agreement is the written instrument Nebraska 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 Nebraska's pharmacist practice-agreement tier for expanded drug-therapy management under written protocol, not ordinary dispensing licensure, which needs no agreement and is out of scope here. Any pharmacist may enter a practice agreement with a prescriber; the pharmacist must notify the Board at initiation. No numeric per-prescriber cap was found.
What a Nebraska Written Practice Agreement must contain
Governed by the Nebraska State Board of Pharmacy. Each numbered item is a statutory requirement the agreement must satisfy.
The Pharmacist ("Pharmacist") may enter into a written practice agreement with the Physician to provide pharmaceutical care according to written protocols, as authorized by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 38-2867.03. The Pharmacist shall notify the Nebraska State Board of Pharmacy and the Physician's licensing board of the practice agreement when it is initiated and whenever the parties to it, or its written protocols, change.
Source: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 38-2867.03
The practice agreement and its written protocols shall be signed and dated by each participating party at initiation, and reviewed, signed, and dated again at least every two (2) years thereafter.

Prescriptive authority
Covered by the practice agreement · no controlled-substance authority
Nebraska's Pharmacy Practice Act authorizes drug-therapy management under a practice agreement, but this research pass found no affirmative grant of controlled-substance prescribing authority under that agreement (contrast Montana, which has an explicit statutory bar, and NC/VA, which have explicit grants) — coded False as the more conservative default given the absence of a confirmed grant, not a confirmed statutory bar. Verify with the Board of Pharmacy before relying on this.
Written agreement
Required
Practice ownership (corporate practice of medicine)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — No pharmacist-ownership requirement was found in Nebraska pharmacy licensing statute/rule for this research pass — pharmacy ownership appears materially more permissive than the healing-arts/APRN Professional LLC framework above, consistent with Nebraska's generally permissive corporate-practice history.
Whether Nebraska requires a designated pharmacist-in-charge with retained professional control (as in several other researched states) was not independently confirmed in this pass.

About Nebraska's rules
LB 107 (2015) replaced ongoing APRN physician collaboration with a one-time 2,000-hour transition-to-practice period for nurse practitioners; whether CRNAs and CNSs follow the identical threshold (vs. a different or no threshold) could not be fully confirmed against primary statute text in this pass — verify before relying on those two entries. CNMs remain the most restricted category, unaffected by that reform.
