Pharmacists cited for trying to see Prince’s medical records
INDIANAPOLIS — Three Indiana pharmacists have been reprimanded by state regulators for trying to access Prince’s medical records within days of the music superstar’s death last year.
The Indiana Board of Pharmacy issued letters of reprimand in the last three months and imposed penalties on the three after investigators with the state attorney general’s office found they had tried separately to access Prince’s medical records in April 2016 through a state database.
Prince died April 21, 2016, of an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl.
All three pharmacists were found to have misused Indiana’s online INSPECT database that pharmacists and physicians use to check controlled-substance prescription histories of patients.
