HME Companies Must Innovate

Updated November 18, 2025

The original link broke.

--  the original post follows below  ---

According the article:

"In response to retailers like Best Buy trying to wedge their way into home care, one respondent wrote, “HME companies must innovate, or their products and services will become low-margin commodities.” 

“Innovators and disruptors will always cross the line – it’s integral [to] the process,” the respondent wrote. “For example, it is now common for payers to provide physician primary care services and patient monitoring, so for a company like Best Buy that has been selling health wearables for years, the apparent intrusion into HME is really a normal course of business. Atrium-Best Buy patients and stakeholders will help steer the fulfillment process for HME products and services, like it or not.” "

Updated February 12, 2026:

California Designated Representative Training Courses - Approved by the California State Board of Pharmacy

Are You Applying For A Designated Representative License?

If you're applying for a California Designated Representative license, then you'll need to include proof of required training (specifically, a training affidavit) in your license application packet. Earn a training affidavit by taking any one of our approved California Designated Representative training courses.

SkillsPlus International Inc. offers the largest selection of California Board of Pharmacy-approved training programs for California Designated Representative license applicants; and is the ONLY Board-approved provider of three distinct California Designated Representative online training classes (including one for Reverse Distributors). Each online course confers a Board-recognized training affidavit.

Here's Why You Should Take An "Approved" Training Program Or Course

The California Designated Representative Application - Training Affidavit Form specifies:

  • "The individual applying for a designated representative license in California has completed an approved training program required by Section 4053(b)(3) of the California Business and Professions Code that addressed ..."
  • That the training affidavit must "be completed by the person having direct knowledge of the applicant’s training. The applicant may not verify his/her own training."

The Board is essentially saying:

  • If applicants attempt self-study, or take "home-grown" training that isn't Board-approved, the submitted training program won't be accepted.
  • Let the buyer beware! If you need a Board-approved training course, make sure the program being offered is officially approved and accepted by the Board of Pharmacy.

Read the full article:  Can Trump/Azar/Sharpless Eliminate Parts of the DSCSA to Enable Importation? - RxTrace.com


According to Dirk Rodgers:

"Can President Trump, HHS Secretary Azar and Acting FDA Commissioner Sharpless eliminate/adjust/reinterpret any part of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) to allow Florida, Colorado, Vermont, Maine or any other US state or territory to import drugs from foreign markets?  Let’s take a closer look at what’s been going on recently with the idea of importing drugs from other markets in an attempt to help American citizens buy them at a lower cost."

His analysis of the situation is a worthy read.

Wholesaler Dangerous Drugs & Dangerous Devices Self-Assessment Forms

Go to the webpage:
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."
