Collaborative Drug Therapy Management for Pharmacists in Nebraska
Yes, a written agreement with a physician is required before you manage drug therapy. 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.

Meeting cadence

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 contains no affirmative grant of controlled-substance prescribing authority under that agreement (contrast Montana's explicit statutory bar and North Carolina's and Virginia's explicit grants). Shown as not allowed as the conservative default rather than a confirmed bar; confirm with the Board of Pharmacy.
Written agreement
Required
Practice ownership (corporate practice of medicine)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — No pharmacist-ownership requirement in Nebraska pharmacy licensing statute or rule; pharmacy ownership is materially more permissive than the healing-arts Professional LLC framework

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 is not spelled out in statute; confirm before relying on those two entries. CNMs remain the most restricted category, unaffected by that reform.
