Collaborative Practice Agreement for Pharmacists in Nebraska
Yes, a written physician agreement is required. Nebraska calls it a Written Practice Agreement.
Represents Nebraska's pharmacist practice-agreement tier for expanded drug-therapy management under written protocol, not ordinary dispensing licensure, which needs no agreement and is out of scope here. Any pharmacist may enter a practice agreement with a prescriber; the pharmacist must notify the Board at initiation. No numeric per-prescriber cap was found.
What the collaboration must look like
The rules the physician relationship has to follow. Each fact comes from the statute or board rule listed under sources.

Supervision ratio
Not codified — no cap on file

Meeting cadence
Not codified — left to the agreement
Prescriptive authority
Covered by the practice agreement · no controlled-substance authority
Nebraska's Pharmacy Practice Act authorizes drug-therapy management under a practice agreement, but this research pass found no affirmative grant of controlled-substance prescribing authority under that agreement (contrast Montana, which has an explicit statutory bar, and NC/VA, which have explicit grants) — coded False as the more conservative default given the absence of a confirmed grant, not a confirmed statutory bar. Verify with the Board of Pharmacy before relying on this.
Written agreement
Required
Practice ownership (corporate practice of medicine)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — No pharmacist-ownership requirement was found in Nebraska pharmacy licensing statute/rule for this research pass — pharmacy ownership appears materially more permissive than the healing-arts/APRN Professional LLC framework above, consistent with Nebraska's generally permissive corporate-practice history.
Whether Nebraska requires a designated pharmacist-in-charge with retained professional control (as in several other researched states) was not independently confirmed in this pass.

About Nebraska's rules
LB 107 (2015) replaced ongoing APRN physician collaboration with a one-time 2,000-hour transition-to-practice period for nurse practitioners; whether CRNAs and CNSs follow the identical threshold (vs. a different or no threshold) could not be fully confirmed against primary statute text in this pass — verify before relying on those two entries. CNMs remain the most restricted category, unaffected by that reform.
