Notes:17

A - As of January 1, 2009, a nonresident pharmacy that dispenses more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the pharmacy’s total prescription volume as a result of an original prescription order received or solicited through the Internet must be accredited through the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy’s (NABP) VIPPS and shall obtain and display a seal of approval on their internet site and anywhere the pharmacy advertises.

B - The Home Medical Equipment Service Provider license does not apply to the following: (1) A hospital licensed under IC 16-21-2 that: (A) provides home medical equipment services only as an integral part of patient care; and (B) does not provide home medical equipment services through a separate business entity; (2) A practitioner (i.e. Physician, Dentist, Podiatrist, Optometrist) who does not sell, lease, or rent home medical equipment; (3) A provider that: (A) provides home medical equipment services within the scope of the licensed provider's professional practice; (B) is otherwise licensed by the state; and (C) receives annual continuing education that is documented by the provider or the licensing entity; (4) A pharmacist licensed in Indiana or a pharmacy that holds a permit issued under IC 25-26. If an out of state supplier, the supplier is not required to have a physical representative in the state. However, the supplier must be available twenty-four (24) hours a day to provide home medical equipment emergency maintenance per IC 25-26-21-6 regulation.

D - Home Medical Equipment Service Provider License is required if this service/item is installed or maintained by the supplier on an ongoing basis. However, if the service/item is a one time sale, then this license is not required.

E - There is no state license required, but the supplier may be licensed as an Audiologist or Speech-Language Pathologist.

G - There is no state license required, but the supplier may be licensed as an Anaplastologist. This certification is maintained by the Board for Certification in Clinical Anaplastology (206-985-8839). Website: http://bcca-cca.org/

H - No State License Required; May be licensed Optometrist or Ophthalmologist

I - A Sterilization or Disinfection Permit is only required of suppliers who are using or selling secondhand articles of bedding or filling materials. The permit is not needed if the supplier holds a current bedding permit from another state that allows for the handling of secondhand items. These suppliers are required to contact and send in a copy of their out of state bedding permit to the Indiana Division of Weights and Measures, which will allow them to keep a copy of the out-of-state permit on file.

J - Practice of respiratory care by other health care professionals: A supplier shall employ or contract with: (1) a respiratory care practitioner licensed under IC 25-34.5 or (2) another duly Indiana licensed health care professional such as a nurse, physician, or pharmacist with education and training in oxygen and related respiratory services.
