Do MDs and DOs have dispensing authority in West Virginia?

Yes, upon board registration
No, they cannot dispense medications
Yes, but only for controlled substances
Yes, but only for noncontrolled substances

The correct answer is: Yes, upon board registration

MDs and DOs, or medical doctors and osteopathic doctors, both have the ability to prescribe and dispense medications in the state of West Virginia. This authority is granted upon registration with the state's medical board. B, C, and D are all incorrect because they limit the prescribing and dispensing authority for MDs and DOs in West Virginia, whereas the correct answer acknowledges the full extent of their authority.
