Notes:17

B - If you are distributing DME to a hospital, nursing home, or another drug distributor, you would need to be registered as either a prescription drug wholesaler or a non-prescription drug wholesaler depending on what products you are delivering. If you are selling or leasing DME to a nursing home for a specific patient then you would need to be registered as a DME provider.

C - Durable medical equipment" means equipment that: (1) Provides therapeutic benefits or enables an individual to perform certain tasks that the individual is unable to otherwise undertake due to certain medical conditions or illnesses; (2) is primarily and customarily used to serve a medical purpose; (3) generally is not useful to a person in the absence of an illness or injury; (4) can withstand repeated use; (5) is appropriate for use in the home, long-term care facility or medical care facility, but may be transported to other locations to allow the individual to complete instrumental activities of daily living that are more complex tasks required for independent living; and (6) may include devices and medical supplies or other similar equipment determined by the board in rules and regulations adopted by the board.

G - A Nonprescription Wholesale Distributor Registration is only needed if a supplier is engaged in transfilling medical oxygen.

H - A contact lens distribution license is needed to mail or deliver contact lenses to patients in Kansas using commercial courier, overnight or other delivery services. The license requirement does not apply to Kansas licensed optometrists and physicians or suppliers that operate from an optical storefront only and do not deliver or mail any contact lenses to a person’s residence.

Z - As of 2008, Cochlear Implants are no longer considered DME, and they are now paid through Part B
