This new website launched, The Committee to Save Independent Home Medical Equipment suppliers (or CSIHME), to help achieve its mission:

The Committee to Save Independent Home Medical Equipment suppliers (or CSIHME) is a non-profit business league formed by independent HME providers for the purpose of advancing the agenda, needs, and value of the independent HME provider community through focused lobbying efforts and public relations activities. In short, CSIHME wants to give a voice to the people who have committed their lives to helping others through Home Medical Equipment and supplies.

The site offers information about the group, and the efforts of its lobbyist and publicist. It also provides a method for people to help subsidize those efforts.

Question:

Am I a "Designated Representative" or "Exemptee" in the eyes of the California State Board of Pharmacy?

Answer:
Designated Representative.

According to the DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE* - REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION 17M-27 (Rev. 1/08):

Under California law, the name used to describe any individual who is in charge of any wholesale drug premises (in California or elsewhere) will change on January 1, 2006, from the former name, exemptee, to designated representative. For conventional use, the board will refer to such an individual as a designated representative throughout this application.
