YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
The purchasing model matters. Section 499.01(2)(r) addresses eligible business-entity purchases and excludes purchases a licensed practitioner makes under their own license. Existing pharmacy or other permits can affect the pathway.
The statute requires an appropriately licensed practitioner authorized under their practice act to prescribe and administer prescription drugs. Eligibility must be checked for the proposed role.
The establishment and qualifying practitioner must notify DBPR within 10 days of a subsequent change. Discuss the current notice form and how the transition affects purchasing.
