401 Jefferson Davis
Alexandria, Virginia 22301

Dear Sir:

I am writing this letter to request your assistance. Due to the fact that the Internet is a new field,
there have apparently been few, if any, laws enacted governing the rights of U. S. citizens to obtain
prescriptions on-line. I am in the process of writing each state medical board requesting their views on
this issue. The majority of the responses I have received indicate that they have no position at this
time.

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the issue of on-line prescriptions of medications, I am asking
for clarification concerning the laws regarding US citizens obtaining prescriptions medications (such as
Xenical, Viagra, Propecia, Phentermine, etc.) via the Internet from a licensed U.S. physician.

In particular, could you please assist me with the questions below, keeping in mind that this question
pertains only to the states that have "No Position".

• Is it legal for a licensed U.S. physician to prescribe "Phentermine" (a Controlled Substance) via
the Internet based on an on-line Medical History to a US citizen without a physical exam?
(Patients must have a 8MI of 2S% or greater and are only prescribed according to the PDR).

• What are the Federal laws regarding US citizens obtaining prescriptions over the Intemet
from a US licensed physician 7


The laws, nules, and regulations should be definitive and not open for interpretation. Therefore, there
should be clearly defined answers to the questions I am asking.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

SUbject: RE: Chris Stouflett

Needless to say, I have many years of experience in prosecuting violations of 21 USC 841. the issues is not so
much the definition of "deliver" as it is "distribution", More particularly, the issue is whether e-Scripts
"possesses" (either actually or constructively) the controlled substance which is than distributed. Clearly, e-
Scripts does not have actual possession. the question thus is does it have "constructive" possession. The
answer will turn on whether the pharmacy in question, as a matter of law, is the agent of e-Scripts. When I say
"matter of law", I am referring to case law which interprets "constructive possession" vis-a-vis 21 USC 841.
The body of law turns on whether there is evidence of "domination and control" bye-Scrips over the
pharmacy. There could be a theory of "domination and control" over the pharmacy through the doctors if it can
be shown that the doctors were not exercising independent jUdgment in their prescriptions based on demands
bye-Scripts and the pharmacy knew of this collusion between e-Scripts and the doctors. The point being that
the more this looks like one business operation, the more it looks like one illegal conspiracy. Family members
owning a pharmacy is not a good idea.

Buddy/Craig: The controlled drugs that are apparently involved are Schedule III amphetamine-
like drugs used mainly for weight loss indications and testosterone.

Several thoughts:

Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC 802(8) defines "deliver" to be the-actual, constructive, or


attempted transfer of a controlled substance, \V)1~ther()r 1121- there exists an agency relationship.
This damages our concept of his role as a "facilitator" in the prescribing of the drugs, and is
substantially different from the manufacturer/distributor provision in the human growth
hormone statute we discussed a few months back.

21 USC 822(a) requires annual registration issued by the Attorney General for every person
who manufactures or distributes controlled substances. Ifhe is a distributor under this statute,
he is not registered.

21 USC 429(b) requires that prescriptions for Schedule III or IV drugs be in conformity with
503(b) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (requires use under the professional supervision of
a practitioner licensed to administer such a drug) - same old issue of whether the internet
questionnaire constitutes a valid basis for a prescription.

21 USC 841 makes the distribution/dispensing of controlled substances in violation of the


requirements of the Act a felony, with the exposure determined in part by the quantity of drugs
involved.

21 USC 848 can invoke the extended exposure of a continuing criminal enterprise.

Thank you for your reply.

eScripts physicians prescribe Phentermine, Adipex, Bontril, Didrex, and Meridia for weight loss.

The LifeSpan physicians prescribe testosterone but lab work is mandatory. Patients must present a photo ID when
having the lab work performed.

There are no other controlled medications prescribed. Is this a question that Mr. Froelich is more familiar with
since he has been working with USAPrescription.com and have meetings with Federal organizations in
Washington on many of these issues?

Please also let us know about the pharmacy ownership.

Thank you again for your time.

Hi,

As I think you all know, we have been given the green light bye-Scripts to undertake a number
of projects. One of them entails the state research on laws/regulations impacting the
prescribing of medications via the Internet. This includes, at a minimum, research of the
medical practice acts and the pharmacy laws/regs and follow-up calls to the respective boards.

Bob/Tony/Carolyn have you started to see any type of restrictive laws/regs in state consumer
protection or mini-FTC acts directed to on-line prescribing such that we will need to be
investigating this area as well ??

If possible, I would like to get together Friday morning (maybe at 10 if that works for
everybody) so we can devise a strategy for completing the first 14 states the e-Scripts GC has
asked us to analyze first and to agree upon a standard write-up format so we can keep the final
format-type editing to a minimum. Would you let me know if 10 works for you.

Thanks -- Allison

RE: e-Scripts-md.com Contracts

DATE: April 25, 2002

Listed below are questions and comments with respect to certain paragraphs in the attached e-
scripts-md.com contracts.

Patient Responsibility Statement:

Paragraph 3: Is this necessary, what purpose does this serve?

Paragraph 4: e-scripts may not want to contact the same local doctor. Do you agree? This
paragraph is also redundant with Paragraph II.

Paragraph 6: Bob - Should we note that the information on the e-scripts website was
developed by licensed physicians?

Paragraph 9: Reference to "the clinic." What clinic?

Paragraph 13: I would delete this paragraph altogether. Paragraph 6 requires them to review
risks and contraindications. Would self-monitoring blood pressure realistic?
Consider limiting reference to blood pressure monitoring to specified
medications only.

Consider additional paragraph attached to Patient Responsibility Statement.

Paragraph 14: This is redundant with new paragraph 19 and I believe unnecessary.

Informed Consent Waiver Form:

Should we advise changing the name ofthe "Medical History Questionnaire" to "Medical History
and Physical Condition Questionnaire?"

Paragraph 3: Are there any "out of country" customers?

Paragraph 11: Should reference to "agent" be deleted? It could be argued either way.

Paragraph 17: I question whether we should include this paragraph.

Hi,

After combining all our various styles in preparing the state-by-state memos -- here is a
template. Where there is relevant statutory or regulatory language include it in whichever
section its fits (i.e., Practice of Medicine or Practice of Pharmacy). As far as assigning a level
of risk to each state, for now use the following scale: High Risk = the state BaM or AG has a
policy, a statement, statutory language, or regulatory language, a board opinion, and AG opinion..
.(something tangible) that sets forth a position in opposition to online prescribing; Medium Risk
= nothing specific from the board or AG but your discussion with the BaM or the language in
the practice act suggest a potential issue or ambiguous enough that it could be problematic; or
Low Risk = BaM suggests not a problem or not addressing the issue. This is just a benchmark,
use your best judgment. If you not sure or your findings are ambiguous we should discuss with
Bob.

Thank you
Allison

Subj: Telephone Conference With Arent Fox

Today, as requested, I had a telephone conference with Allison Shuren at Arent Fox
regarding some on-going concerns at Virtual Wellness Network..

• We discussed the closing of LifeSpan. Arent Fox was pleased with the steps that we
have taken and wanted to make sure that the closing language was in fact on the LifeSpan
website. They are going to research the law regarding whether Dr. Hollis can cancel all
of his written prescriptions that have renewal periods so that no patient can renew his
prescription.

• Arent Fox is continuing with the 50 state survey. They would like to know if you have a
preference for the next states, or should they just randomly pick some.

• Apparently, Arent Fox sent a bill for e-Scripts to Isenberg & Hewitt in the amount of
$800. Although Mel told them to just deduct the $800 from the retainer on file with
Arent Fox, they are unable to do so without your written permission. If this is ok with
you, please write a letter to Allison Shuren on e-Scripts/VWN letterhead stating that this
is ok.

• Arent Fox would like a final written proposal of the new Porta Scripts business model so
that they can "bless" it. Apparently, depending on the state, their may be a need for a
licensed RN as opposed to merely a medical technician. Once the understand the final
business model, they can begin this research.
