It varies state-to-state. In Michigan it is as op described. You have to go in person to get a physical prescription. A few years ago it changed briefly but it changed back. Since COVID the rules have been relaxed at least in MI.
- to11mtm 6y agoYep. For a long time in Michigan it was physical prescription only, but they could write you two additional 30 day scripts at the time, or you could get a longer script if you were going to be out traveling. But you still have to take it to the pharmacy yourself every 30 days in most cases. (again, much of this has been relaxed.) My gut says that a lot of this is because of all of the regulations around handling and amount-on-hand rules in MI. There is one not-terrible side effect to the resulting process however; Since typically you'd just wait to get it filled (or pick it up ASAP,) It limits the risk of an electronic fill sitting around and getting 'lost'.
