Self-Assessment Forms - Current Versions - CA St Board of Rx

Updated December 7, 2018

- -  original post follows below  - -

The California Board of Pharmacy announced*:

"Board regulations (Title 16 California Code of Regulations sections 1715 and 1784), require that all licensed pharmacies and wholesalers complete a Self-Assessment by July 1 of every odd-numbered year.

The board recently updated the Self-Assessment forms through a formal rulemaking. The updated forms contain references to statutory and regulatory changes that occurred between 2011 and 2014 (inclusive).

While the rulemaking process was underway, the board accepted from pharmacies, hospital pharmacies and wholesalers completion of either the 2011 version OR the draft 2014 version: both versions have been available for use on the board’s website.

On April 20, 2016, the Office of Administrative Law approved the revised self-assessment forms. These forms can be downloaded at: http://www.pharmacy.ca.gov/licensees/facility/self_assess.shtml  They will all have “(Rev. 10/14)” date on them in in the lower left corner of the pages.

Form 17M-13: “Community Pharmacy Self-Assessment/Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy Self‐Assessment (Rev. 10/14)”
Form 17M-14: “Hospital Pharmacy Self‐Assessment (Rev. 10/14)”
Form 17M-26: Form 17M-26: “Wholesaler Dangerous Drugs & Devices Self-Assessment (Rev. 10/14).”

The board encourages all pharmacies, hospital pharmacies and wholesalers to complete the revised forms if they have not already completed the 2014 assessments. The board will no longer accept the 2011 versions of the self-assessment forms as [compliant]."

"In the cash-only realm, the Lifeflo OTC Emergency Oxygen (lifeflooxygen.com) acts as a life-saving technology that DME providers can use to expand sales and connect to the community in a meaningful way. “We believe that carrying this technology gives HME providers an opportunity to market a simple and affordable technology,” says Normand. “DME providers can sell this product without a prescription from the physician. People were shocked by that.”"

Florida’s Adoption of Federal Exemptions for Wholesale Drug Distribution May Benefit Pharmacies, Practitioners and Hospitals | Akerman LLP - Health Law Rx - JDSupra

Read the full article: Florida’s Adoption of Federal Exemptions for Wholesale Drug Distribution May Benefit Pharmacies, Practitioners and Hospitals | Akerman LLP - Health Law Rx - JDSupra:

"The 2016 Florida Legislature enacted substantial legislation (Ch. 2016-212, Laws of Florida) to bring Florida’s Drug and Cosmetic Act (Ch. 499, Florida Statutes) in line with the federal Drug Supply Chain and Security Act (“DSCSA”). Since the DSCSA preempts state law, the changes were necessary to avoid confusion between the state and federal exemptions to the term “wholesale distribution”."
