Every manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor doing business in New Hampshire must check that the recipient is properly licensed to receive and possess prescription drugs before shipping or distributing them.
Who counts as an authorized buyer: Recipients properly licensed to receive and possess the drugs, such as licensed pharmacies, practitioners and other licensed or authorized recipients.
"shall, before shipping or distributing any prescription drug, verify that the recipient is properly licensed to receive and possess such drugs." N.H. Admin. Code Ph 1002.10(b)
Records to keep

Licenses a distributor needs in New Hampshire
Prescription drug wholesale distributor
No wholesaler, distributor or reverse distributor may supply legend drugs or controlled drugs without a license. A separate license is required for each site, licenses renew every two years on June 30 of even years, and in-state sites must pass a board inspection first.

Medical device and DME distributors
The board rule requires a license before anyone acts as a wholesale distributor of prescription drugs or prescription devices. We did not find a separate New Hampshire license for DME suppliers.

The state wholesaler license under RSA 318:51-a is required to supply controlled drugs as well as legend drugs. We did not find a separate state controlled substance registration for distributors.

How WorkdID handles New Hampshire accounts
WorkdID by Workd checks every New Hampshire customer you sell to against the state's pharmacy and medical boards, the NPI registry, and the DEA, every day. It flags an expiration or a board action within a day of posting, and in Workd order entry it can hold the order until your compliance team clears the account. Every check is saved with the date and the board record, so your New Hampshire file is ready when someone asks for it.
