Then you can get the prescription in whatever state you're in and have it filled. They must work with each other though because there is a national database and they will know if you were trying to get extra drugs
My husband sees a pain management physician, and he had to be referred by his primary care physician before the PM would see him. I believe Papa Muzzy's info is correct.
