BANGOR (AP) – A state document outlining allegations against the PIN Rx mail order pharmacy says the Penobscot Indian Nation’s business dispensed at least $3 million worth of drugs over the Internet without verifying prescriptions for at least nine months in 2006.

The 22-page document from the Maine Board of Pharmacy serves as a notice of a hearing the board will hold in April on the allegations.

PIN Rx earlier this week announced its intention to close. The Bangor Daily News reported Thursday that two pharmacists may face disciplinary action from the pharmacy board for allegedly filling Internet prescriptions for controlled substances.

The manufacture, possession and use of controlled substances are regulated by the government. In the case of PIN Rx, legal drugs typically prescribed for weight loss, pain control and psychiatric conditions allegedly were sent through the mail without valid prescriptions from a registered prescriber, the News said.

PIN Rx was started in 2005 with the blessing of Gov. John Baldacci, whose administration helped it to obtain government grants. Earlier this week, the administration said it has arranged for interim prescription services for the roughly 3,000 MaineCare members who had been served by PIN Rx until it can establish a more permanent system to serve them.

Penobscot Nation Chief Kirk Francis said the complaint is disturbing. He said the mail order prescription business has not been profitable despite efforts to make it succeed.

Neal Pratt, attorney for PIN Rx, said the business is winding down because of the “overbroad and scattershot-type allegations” by the state.

“There are a lot of factual mistakes in that document. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t get all of the facts before they decided to make public allegations that a business had engaged in this sort of wrongdoing,” Pratt said.

Two PIN Rx pharmacists are named in the hearing notice. Reggie Gracie, also director of operations for the business, was placed on administrative leave by the PIN Rx board, and Susan Tringale left PIN Rx when the allegations surfaced.
