Audits & Inspections

Almost everyday an auditor or inspector visits a pharmacy or pharmacies in Florida to conduct a provider audit or a pharmacy inspection. The auditors examine pharmacy records for fraud and abuse of the healthcare program. The inspectors inspect the pharmacy and its records re: pharmacy laws and rules issues. The purpose of this link is to share with you as independent pharmacy owners some of the issues or situations that arise throughout the state relative to your practices.

Example:

Recently an inspector in a routine inspection of a pharmacy, advised the pharmacist present that they had to obtain a permit to sell oxygen in the pharmacy. The law FS 499.0122 reads as follows: Medical oxygen retail establishment means a person licensed to sell medical oxygen to patients only. The sale must be based on an order from a practitioner authorized by law to prescribe. The term does not include a pharmacy licensed under Chapter 465 (our pharmacy practice act).
