Ninth Question of the Day August 4, 2014 If a state law provides that no registered pharmacist or owner of any pharmacy licensed in that state can pay a commission for referring customers or clients then if company x is Texas resident pharmacy but doing business and licensed in Flordia or Nevada but pays their reps a commission doesn't this violate Nevada and Florida law and shouldn't those states revoke the pharmacist and/or pharmacy license to do business in that state? Should these pharmacies and pharamcists be prosecuted in states where they violate kickback laws? Should they be prosecuted federally for kickback laws? If the commissions were taken out of all compounding drug sales, how quick would the industry clean itself up?

 NV Rev Stat § 639.264 (2013)
