Importers would need the cooperation of the Canadian government and the drug industry, both of which oppose it.

According to the article:

"President Donald Trump has promised that the plan his administration rolled out Wednesday to bring in cheaper prescription drugs from Canada will immediately lower medication costs. Experts say the plan won’t work — and many write it off as a political stunt. 

Under the proposal, importers would need the cooperation of the Canadian government and the drug industry, both of which oppose it. Importers would have to take many expensive and complicated steps to prove to the FDA that importation wouldn’t harm Americans, and to weave through complex regulations and the intricacies of the U.S. health delivery system."

The industry-wide governance body for DSCSA compliance comes to life - Pharmaceutical Commerce

Read the full article:  The industry-wide governance body for DSCSA compliance comes to life - Pharmaceutical Commerce

According to the article:

"As has been known for years, establishing a successful implementation of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) will require close coordination among manufacturers, wholesaler-distributors, pharmacies and health systems (even, conceivably, individual doctor’s offices)—a tall order. Yet there has been no reliable mechanism for accomplishing this coordination—apart from banging on FDA’s door—to date. That is changing now with the establishment of the Partnership for DSCSA Governance, Inc. (PDG), an independent, nonprofit, “sector neutral” (as it characterizes itself) group to work out the steps toward DSCSA compliance by the law’s 2023 deadline.

Suspicious Phone Calls Continue - Warning About Scam Calls

• Board-approved California Designated Representative online training programs for wholesalers, 3PL, reverse distributors. Earns a Board-recognized training affidavit.

Updated January 14, 2020

The Board sent out yet another follow-up email with this updated information:

"What can you do to protect yourself?

Licensee security is an important matter. How can you be sure anyone who contacts you on behalf of the Board of Pharmacy or any government agency is legitimate? Here are some important tips from the board and DCA:

• A board inspector will never call to ask you to pay a fine to the caller.
• If you have doubts or any questions about a board inspector’s identity, contact the California State Board of Pharmacy at (916) 518-3100.
• If someone claims to be a board inspector, ask to see the inspector’s badge and business card issued by the Board of Pharmacy.
• Contact the DCA at (800) 952-5210 to find out if an official investigation is being conducted.
• If the caller claims to represent the DEA or the FBI, report the call to the DEA’s Extortion Scam reporting program or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
• If the caller’s phone number appears to be a Board of Pharmacy or DCA telephone number, report the scam using the Federal Communications Commission’s consumer complaint form. "

You can also view the full contents of the scam phone calls communication.

Warning about Scam Calls - An alert from the California State Board of Pharmacy

According to the Board's alert (12/9/2019):

"Licensees have alerted the Board of Pharmacy about a phone caller who identifies himself as Peter Williams or some other name. Sometimes the caller claims to be a board inspector; other times, he told licensees he was a DEA agent. In each case, he claimed to be calling about an investigation and said the licensee would face discipline unless the licensee paid a “fine.”

These calls were part of a scam – attempts to extort money from licensees.

How can you be sure you are speaking to a Board of Pharmacy inspector? Here are some important tips to remember:

• A board inspector will visit your work place, not your home. Ask to see the inspector’s badge and business card issued by the Board of Pharmacy.
• An inspector will never contact you by phone to request any form of payment or ask you to pay a fine to the inspector.
• If you have doubt or any questions about an inspector’s identity, contact the Board of Pharmacy at (916) 518-3100."

The FDA Considers PI a Closed Issue – So Why the Confusion? - LSPediA

Read the full article:  The FDA Considers PI a Closed Issue – So Why the Confusion? - LSPediA

I hope this doesn't come as a surprise.

According to the article:

"It’s been 14 months since the FDA advised manufacturers, wholesalers, and repackagers on Product Identifier (PI) requirements. You’ll remember that it came as a bit of a shock to most in the industry that what they’d been doing—following the GS1 standard of a GTIN with an embedded 10-digit National Drug Code (NDC) number, plus the serial number, lot number, and expiration date—was insufficient for PI purposes.

The FDA’s draft guidance said that was close to what they wanted, but not close enough. They dismissed the GTIN and confirmed the requirement of using the NDC number as one of the building blocks of a PI. The exact language was found in the answers to questions 4 and 5 of the guidance."

Open the full guideline document:   GS1 Healthcare US - Implementation Guideline - Applying the GS1 Lightweight Messaging Standard for DSCSA Verification of Returned Product Identifiers (PDF)

According to the guideline document:

"In preparation, pharmaceutical supply chain stakeholders collaborated with GS1® and GS1 US® to develop a verification messaging standard to enable system interoperability and prevent the proliferation of multiple messaging formats. In addition, the GS1 Messaging Standard Workgroup collaborated with the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) Verification Routing Services (VRS) Taskforce. These efforts produced the GS1 Lightweight Messaging Standard for Verification of Product Identifiers.

The GS1 Lightweight Messaging Standard was designed to support requests and responses for verification of product identifiers for serialized pharmaceutical products. It is intended to provide a simple, standardized lightweight messaging framework for asking verification questions and receiving actionable information. Designed to support Verification Routing Services (VRS) systems for DSCSA verification, the messaging standard defines a verification request message and a corresponding response message."

To comply with the 21st Century Cures Act, the Department of Health Care Services has proposed paying 80% of Medicare’s non-rural fee schedule amounts for most DME. For providers in the state, who are currently reimbursed at the 2016 Medicare fee schedule amounts, that’s a cut of up to 60%."

It's been difficult to put all the moving pieces together in a coherent manner, regarding the HHS, state-based drug importation efforts, and the DSCSA.

Here are some more pieces of the puzzle.

According to the HHS news release:

"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced today that HHS and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are publishing a Safe Importation Action Plan - PDF* that outlines two potential pathways that would lay the foundation for the safe importation of certain drugs originally intended for foreign markets."

But there are 4 major questions according to this article:  HHS and FDA's drug importation action plan - FierceHealthcare:

1. Will Canada play ball?
2. Will states want to play ball?
3. How will safety issues be addressed?
4. Will congressional Republicans interfere?

At least one caller impersonating a board inspector gave a fake name, “Peter Williams.” It is unclear what kind of information the callers are seeking.

If you have questions or doubts about a caller claiming to work for the Board of Pharmacy, please contact the board at (916) 518-3100. Remember that board inspectors will NEVER request any form of payment by telephone."

Wholesaler Dangerous Drugs & Dangerous Devices Self-Assessment Forms - California State Board of Pharmacy

According to the Board:

"The assessment shall be performed before July 1 of every odd-numbered year. The self-assessment forms must remain on-site at the facility. Only submit the form to the board if requested by board staff. 

The board is in the process of updating the Self-Assessment forms through a formal rulemaking.  The updates include references to statutory and regulatory changes that occurred between 2014 and 2016.  The last time the forms were formally updated was 2014. 

Current regulation requires a pharmacy or wholesaler to complete the 2014 version of the Self-Assessment form.  Please be advised, however, the board will accept completion of either the 2014 version OR the 2016 version.  The latter version is likely to be a more helpful assessment to the pharmacy or wholesaler completing it."
