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. "

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."

If you're new to the world of the pharmacy Designated Representative, maybe this quick introduction will help. I'm going to explain, using the California (CA) State Board of Pharmacy as the example.

According to the CA Designated Representative application form:

A designated representative is an individual who performs clerical, inventory control, housekeeping, delivery, maintenance, or similar functions related to the distribution or dispensing of dangerous drugs or dangerous devices. To work as a designated representative, you must possess and keep a current certificate as a designated representative.

There are quite a number of requirements that have to be met in order to qualify, including the following training requirements listed on the application form:

Complete a training program that, at a minimum, addresses each of the following subjects:
(A) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of dangerous drugs and dangerous devices.
(B) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of controlled substances.
(C) Knowledge and understanding of quality control systems.
(D) Knowledge and understanding of the United States Pharmacopoeia standards relating to the safe storage and handling of drugs.
(E) Knowledge and understanding of prescription terminology, abbreviations, dosages and format.

The next step then becomes finding a way to fulfill the training program requirement. We recommend the highly popular California Designated Representative Training Courses (approved by the California State Board of Pharmacy).

FDA and States Meet On Regulation of Drug Compounders

F.D.A. and States Meet About Regulation of Drug Compounders - NYTimes.com:

"Pharmacies fall primarily under state law, and the F.D.A. convened the meeting to get specifics from states on gaps in the regulatory net and how the states see the federal role. Some states said they would prefer to see the F.D.A. handle large-scale compounders like the New England Compounding Center, or N.E.C.C., the Massachusetts pharmacy that was the source of the outbreak.

“The consensus in our group was that there is a role for the F.D.A. to be involved in facilities like N.E.C.C.,” said Cody Wiberg, the executive director of the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. “If you’re talking about compounding, most states have the authority and resources to handle that. If you’re talking about nontraditional compounding,” he said, referring to large-scale enterprises like N.E.C.C., “fewer states may have the resources to do that.”"

When key employees move on or are terminated, there are Designated Representative implications that you need to consider. Read on, as the consequences could invoke disciplinary action.

According to the California Board of Pharmacy Change of PIC/DRIC/RMG/Professional Director webpage:

Change of Designated Representative-in-Charge (DRIC)

"Business and Professions Code Sections 4160(f), states, “A wholesaler shall notify the board in writing, on a form designed by the board, within 30 days of the date when a designated representative-in-charge ceases to act as the designated representative-in-charge, and shall on the same form propose another designated representative or pharmacist to take over as the designated representative-in-charge. The proposed replacement designated representative-in-charge shall be subject to approval by the board. If disapproved, the wholesaler shall propose another replacement within 15 days of the date of disapproval, and shall continue to name proposed replacements until a designated representative-in-charge is approved by the board.”  The DRIC serves as supervisor or manager and is responsible for ensuring the wholesaler’s or veterinary food-animal drug retailer’s compliance with all the state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to practice and the applicable license.

If the DRIC is a pharmacist in the home state of the nonresident wholesaler license, is currently associated with an active nonresident wholesaler license, and has electronic fingerprints on file with the California State Board of Pharmacy, new fingerprints may not be required.  You may request a set of the board fingerprint cards if you do not hold a current California pharmacist license and are not currently associated as a DRIC to a nonresident wholesaler
