Wholesalers Must Report Suspicious Orders to Board

According to the Board (as published in the March 2018 issue of The Script):

"The new law requires wholesalers reporting suspicious orders to provide the board with a copy of the information provided to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The information may be emailed to the board at wholesalesuspiciousorders@dca.ca.gov.

Suspicious orders include – but are not limited to – orders of unusual size, orders deviating substantially from a normal pattern, and orders of unusual frequency."

Section 4169.1 is added to the Business and Professions Code, to read:

A wholesaler, upon discovery, shall notify the board in writing of any suspicious orders of controlled substances placed by a California-licensed pharmacy or wholesaler by providing the board a copy of the information that the wholesaler provides to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. Suspicious orders include, but are not limited to, orders of unusual size, orders deviating substantially from a normal pattern, and orders of unusual frequency.
