Notes:17
A - If out of state, a Non-Resident Pharmacy Permit is required.

C - “Residential service agency” means: (i) Any individual, partnership, firm, association, corporation, or other business entity of any kind that is engaged in a nongovernmental business of employing or contracting with individuals to provide at least one home health care service for compensation to an unrelated sick or disabled individual in the residence of that individual; or (ii) An agency that employs or contracts with individuals directly for hire as home health care providers. A branch office of the agency may operate under the same license that is issued to the agency (One license issued to multiple locations); however, each location must be listed on the branch letter provided with the RSA license from the Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ). Effective July 1, 2018, the Residential Service Agency License is a non-expiring license.

D - The “Residential Service Agency” (RSA) license is required regardless of supplier type or pharmacy (in-state and out-of-state) if delivering DME, Orthotics, or Prosthetics to individuals in a private residence. This license is not needed if the business engages in mail order only via a common mail carrier. Additionally, the RSA license requirement does not apply to Maryland licensed home health agencies, hospitals, or individuals practicing in a health occupation for which the individual is authorized to practice under Health Occupations Article, Annotated Code of Maryland including Physicians, Podiatrists, Optometrists, Chiropractors, and Dentists.

E - “Home medical equipment services” means the delivery, installation, maintenance, or replacement of, or instruction in the use of, medical equipment used by a sick or disabled individual to allow the individual to be maintained in a noninstitutional environment.(9-1) “Medical equipment” means technologically sophisticated medical devices including but not limited to: (a) Oxygen and oxygen delivery systems; (b) Ventilators; (c) Respiratory disease management devices; (d) Electronic and computer-driven wheelchairs and seating systems; (e) Apnea monitors; (f) Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (T.E.N.S.) units; (g) Low air loss cutaneous pressure management devices; (h) Sequential compression devices; (i) Neonatal home phototherapy devices; (j) Feeding pumps; and (k) Electrically powered hospital beds.

H - There is no state license required for prosthetics. However, in certain cases, the supplier may be required to be licensed as an Audiologist, Hearing Aid Dispenser, or Speech-Language Pathologist. The Residential Service Agency License is required regardless of what type of DME if being delivered to individuals in a private residence (not needed for mail orders).

I - There is no state license for Ocularist, but the supplier may be licensed as an Anaplastologist. The Ocularist is certified by National Examining Board of Ocularists (NEBO). Website: http://www.neboboard.org

J - Oxygen Suppliers: If you are delivering oxygen to patients in their homes then you would be licensed as a Residential Service Agency (RSA) and would be regulated by the Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ). If you are distributing oxygen - you would be regulated as a Wholesale Distributor by the Board of Pharmacy.

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