Authority and scope
Check the license and concern
The Board’s site lists pharmacists, interns, pharmacy technicians and trainees, resident pharmacies and nonresident mail-order pharmacies. Its complaint intake has separate fields for a business and a person. Identify each and their role; the presence of a cashier field does not establish that every employee has a Board-regulated credential.

How the official source says to file
- Use the Board’s online complaint intake. Provide complainant contact details, patient identity and date of birth, your relationship to the patient, prescription number, medication and dispensing date.
- Identify the pharmacy or other business, its location, involved people and their roles; give the incident date, detailed facts and requested remedy. The page allows up to five supporting uploads, such as labels, photographs, receipts or correspondence.
- Review all declarations presented before submission. Downstream signature, patient-authorization and alternative-delivery requirements were not established. Ask Board staff at 304-558-0558 if you need those details; do not assume the general contact email is a filing address.

What this route may not provide
The intake says the Board disciplines licensees for legal violations and excludes business or billing disputes, insurance coverage, personality conflicts, scheduling and employment disputes. A request for a remedy appears on the form, but a refund or damages power was not established.

Do not guess about confidentiality
The intake expressly says the subject receives a copy and that the completed complaint becomes a public record. Do not assume anonymity or public confidentiality. Ask how sensitive patient information is handled before including unnecessary records.

Ask promptly; no filing deadline verified
A filing deadline was not established by this check; ask promptly. No processing-time promise was verified. Keep incident dates and evidence available, and do not treat filing as preserving a separate civil deadline.
What may happen after filing
The Board may discipline a licensee for violations. Its intake warns that a resulting hearing may require your attendance and testimony. Detailed screening stages and status-update procedures were not established; ask how receipt and disposition will be communicated.
