Policymakers must fix problems with Medicare’s competitive bidding program for home oxygen therapy | The Hill

Read the full article:  Policymakers must fix problems with Medicare’s competitive bidding program for home oxygen therapy | The Hill:

"The end result is that patients are finding it more difficult to access the treatments they need.  According to Medicare’s data, the number of oxygen rental patients declined by 33 percent between 2008 and 2014, while the number of COPD diagnoses increased by 59 percent. Because the only treatment for COPD in its later stages is home oxygen therapy, the increase in diagnosis and the decrease in patients using the services suggests that patients aren’t getting access to the care necessary to remain at home."

Home Medical Device Retail Program - California Food and Drug Branch (FDB):

"The HMDR program is mandated by Assembly Bill 1496 of the 1999-2000 legislative session. This program licenses California HMDR facilities and registers Out-of-State HMDR facilities. In-State HMDR facilities supply prescription medical devices or durable medical equipment for use in the home to treat acute or chronic illnesses or injuries. Out-of-State HMDR facilities must supply prescription medical devices in order to qualify for the registration. The HMDR program also licenses exemptees that are required to be on staff in lieu of a pharmacist at facilities selling prescription medical devices as described under California and Federal medical device laws."

McMorris Rodgers, Loebsack Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Provide Access to Durable Medical Equipment | Cathy McMorris Rodgers

Read the full press release:  McMorris Rodgers, Loebsack Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Provide Access to Durable Medical Equipment | Cathy McMorris Rodgers:

"Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) and Congressman Dave Loebsack (IA-02) introduced the bipartisan Protecting Home Oxygen & Medical Equipment (HOME) Access Act of 2017, to preserve access to durable medical equipment (DME), especially in rural communities, by addressing severe cuts to reimbursement rates. Specifically, this legislation delays the July 2016 cuts to DME payments in rural areas, which slashed Medicare reimbursement rates by more than 50 percent on average, and shields payment rates for oxygen concentrators from an outdated regulation that was never intended to apply to rates derived from the Competitive Bidding Program (CBP)."

Thanks, California! SB17 Will Trigger Massive Speculative Buying, Windfall Pharmacy Profits, and Supply Chain Disruption - Drug Channels

California SB17 - An Analysis

Read the full article:  Drug Channels: Thanks, California! SB17 Will Trigger Massive Speculative Buying, Windfall Pharmacy Profits, and Supply Chain Disruption:

"As I explain in Section 4.6.2. of our new 2017–18 Economic Report on Pharmaceutical Wholesalers and Specialty Distributors, drug wholesalers will benefit very little from the new law’s advance purchasing of inventory.

That’s because inventory profits are eliminated by almost all manufacturer-wholesaler distribution service agreements. Manufacturers typically negotiate agreements that recapture the value of price appreciation on inventory held in wholesalers’ warehouses and on order with the manufacturer. If a manufacturer recaptures the full inventory appreciation value, then a wholesaler does not benefit from buying inventory at the old price and then selling it at the new, higher price."

How Many California Designated Reps Do I Need?

Several California Designated Representatives Might Be Needed - Consider These Reasons

California Pharmacy Law

According to the California Board of Pharmacy website:

"Wholesale operations that distribute dangerous drugs or dangerous devices must be supervised by a registered pharmacist or an individual approved by the board as a designated representative. These companies may not operate unless the pharmacist or designated representative is physically on the licensed premises. To ensure proper control at all times, the board recommends that there be more than one person approved to supervise operations." Specifically, the California Wholesaler license application says (in boldface), "There must be one designated representative on the premises at all times during business operation."

"Each place of business of a third-party logistics provider shall be supervised and managed by a responsible manager. The responsible manager shall be responsible for the compliance of the place of business with state and federal laws governing third-party logistics providers and with the third-party logistics provider's customer specifications, except where the customer's specifications conflict with state or federal laws. The responsible manager shall maintain an active license as a designated representative-3PL with the board at all times during which he or she is designated as the responsible manager." Specifically, the California Third-Party Logistics Provider license application says (in boldface), "There must be one licensed designated representative-3PL on the premises at all times during business operation."
-  -  -

When the business operations and staffing model are taken into consideration, some companies will need more than one designated representative. In other words, when the business is operating, there must be at least one designated representative there. Scheduling designated representative coverage starts to get tricky when you figure in vacations, days off, multiple shifts, etc. To reiterate the Board, there must be one licensed designated representative on the premises at all times during business operation.

Good Business Practice

And just when you think you've got it all covered ...

It's not unusual for some businesses to manage with just one designated representative, or keep the bare minimum of licensed designated representatives on staff.  However, these companies can run into a situation that can affect the company's business financial health. In the event the company loses a licensed designated representative, for example, the designated rep quits, and cross-coverage by another licensed designated representative isn't possible, then the business operation could get into trouble with the Board, or just as bad, must shut down (until a licensed designated rep can be on premise).

It's a difficult scenario, to be left scrambling, trying to find, hire, and get a new employee properly licensed as a designated rep.  Therefore, consider the risks, and keep just the "right" number of licensed designated representatives.
