Date Petition Received | 01/21/2012 |
Petitioner | Louis M. Kaufman |
To amend 18VAC110-20-680 C which requires that a medical equipment supplier must receive
a valid order from a practitioner prior to dispensing, which has been interpreted
to mean that the specific medical equipment supplier must receive the order at the
MES location from which the product is being dispensed. The amendment would allow
the transfer of a prescription received at one MES to another MES location.
