Expect Audits After the Emergency Ends - HomeCare

According to the article:

"The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued temporary regulatory waivers and new rules during the COVID-19 public health emergency to allow certain health care providers flexibility in providing care during the pandemic. Some of these initiatives directly impact the home medical equipment/durable medical equipment (HME/DME) industry. Providers of HME and DME, however, should be prepared for post-COVID-19 audits. Here are some areas of concern to be aware of."

The Effect of COVID-19 on NABP’s Drug Distributor Accreditation Program (formerly VAWD) & The Future of Accreditation and Re-accreditation - GTC Consulting

The Effect of COVID-19 on NABP’s Drug Distributor Accreditation Program (formerly VAWD) & The Future of Accreditation and Re-accreditation - GTC Consulting

According to the post:

" ... applicants pursuing the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Drug Distributor Accreditation (formerly the Verified Accredited Wholesale Distributor program or VAWD) are not being cleared for survey unless the applicants sufficiently prove they have a process in place to detect and prevent the spread of COVID-19. I think we can all agree from a public health perspective this makes sense. However, the challenge here, as everyone who has ever been through this accreditation process is well aware of, NABP is not the best at providing clear guidance as to what they specifically want from the applicant to satisfy their standards. This new requirement is no exception as many applicants find themselves going back and forth with NABP hoping to mitigate costly and time consuming survey delays."

COMBATTING PRICE GOUGING & HOARDING - DOJ

Read the full source article: Combatting Price Gouging & Hoarding - DOJ

According to the article:
The Department is also committed to preventing hoarding and price gouging for critical supplies during this crisis.  To combat this misconduct, the President issued an Executive Order pursuant to section 102 of the Defense Production Act, which prohibits hoarding of designated items, and Attorney General Barr has now created the COVID-19 Hoarding and Price Gouging Task Force.  In a memo to U.S. Attorneys, Attorney General Barr said, “we will aggressively pursue bad actors who amass critical supplies either far beyond what they could use or for the purpose of profiteering. Scarce medical supplies need to be going to hospitals for immediate use in care, not to warehouses for later overcharging.”
