Average CA Designated Representative Salary

Updated June 5, 2017

The link in the original post broke.

I checked on SimplyHired again. It wasn't very easy this time. From the only piece of info that they share, they estimate the salary range to be $52,000 - $72,000.

Do you believe this figure for the average salary for a California Pharmacy Designated Representative?

I searched www.SimplyHired.com using this job title, Pharmacy Designated Representative in CA.

I tried to embed their graph, but alas, no success.

So here's the info, as of 6/25/2011: Average Pharmacy Designated Representative Salaries in CA is $76,000

Does this ring true for you?

Criminal enterprises posing as pharmacies are billing Medicare, Medicaid and private insurers for fake prescriptions and bilking health care out of millions of dollars," reports this CNN Money article, Phantom pharmacy - A growing health care fraud.

You're probably reading this because you have an interest in CA or FL. The article also says, "scammers typically target Florida and California because they have large Medicare and Medicaid populations."

CA Wholesaler Self-Assessments Due July 1

California Board of Pharmacy Self-Assessment Forms

Updated November 21, 2025

Use the latest version of the forms posted on the Board's website:

CA Board of Pharmacy - Self-Assessment Forms

---  The post below is outdated --- 

According to a recent CA Board of Pharmacy email notification*, the July 1 deadline for pharmacies and wholesalers to perform their biennial self-assessment is approaching.  In a nutshell, here's what they're saying.

The Board prefers that the draft (updated) forms be used, but they can't require that the newer version be used.

Therefore, you have a choice to use the January 2010 versions of the forms (current regulations), or the draft self-assessment forms (which are not specifically required, and have more up-to-date descriptions of requirements).
