House Bill 197, has extended the deadline for expiration of all licenses issued by the state of Ohio until either 90 days after the expiration of the emergency declared by Governor Mike DeWine’s Executive Order 2020-01D or December 1, 2020 – whichever date is earlier. As a result, the expiration date for all OTA licenses has been adjusted to December 1, 2020 in the Ohio eLicense system. Please note that this date will change when the emergency order is lifted.

Notes:17
B - There is no hospital licensure in Ohio; however, hospitals must be registered and must report certain information to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) annually in accordance with section 3701.07 of the Ohio Revised Code. Hospitals with accreditation by an accrediting organization that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved for deeming authority are deemed to meet all conditions of participation for Medicare program participation and are not under the jurisdiction of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) for survey and certification.

C - The Bedding, Upholstered Furniture and Stuffed Toy Registration License is required for used equipment only. If the retailer is selling only new articles and is not manufacturing, importing, distributing or wholesaling regulated articles, they are not required to obtain a registration license. The board will only issue one Bedding and Stuffed Toy Registration Certificate per supplier, as long as the tax id and business name match. One registration will cover the multiple locations of the supplier.

D - The Spectacle/Contact Lens Optician License does not apply to Ohio licensed Optometrists or Physicians.

G - Licensed Orthotists or Prosthetists may also provide diabetic shoes and inserts (custom and non-custom). Per Ohio Code 4779.02, exemptions to practice orthotics, prosthetics, or pedorthics include the following professionals: Individuals who hold a current, valid license, certificate, or registration issued under Chapter 4723 (Nurses), 4730 (Physician Assistants), 4731 (Physicians; Limited Practitioners), 4734 (Chiropractors), 4755 (Physical Therapists; Occupational Therapists; Athletic Trainers), or 4729 (Pharmacists) and are practicing within their scope of practice under statutes and rules regulating each individual’s profession. (Effective: 06/06/2001; Rev: 07/25/2018)

H - Please see Ohio Revised Code 4761.01 for the definition of Respiratory Care and for additional information. Installation and demonstration of home medical equipment used for the delivery of oxygen may be conducted by home medical equipment facility representatives (ORC 4752) that are not licensed respiratory therapists. However, if the service involves administering and/or instructing in the use of medical gases, a licensed respiratory therapist must perform such activity. 3/22/2019

I - The Ohio Board of Pharmacy may issue a Certificate of Registration in lieu of the Home Medical Equipment Services Provider license if the supplier holds an accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations or another national accrediting body recognized by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

J - Oxygen concentrators are NOT dangerous drugs and if that is the ONLY type of oxygen that a supplier provides, then a Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs license is not required.

K - The TDDD-Retail Seller of Medical Oxygen license is not required if the supplier holds a valid category 02 or 03 pharmacy license. Pharmacies that hold a limited category 02 or 03 license will be issued an addendum as part of the license, listing the drug or medical gas a supplier may dispense. (TDDD-RSOX Effective: 1994; Added: 06/04/2013; Rev.1: 08/08/2013)

L - A Home Medical Services Provider License is also required for home health agencies and the following health care practitioners who sell or rent home medical equipment: dentists, registered or licensed practical nurses, optometrists, opticians, pharmacists, physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, speech-language pathologists or audiologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and respiratory care professionals. A pharmacy may be exempt from obtaining the Home Medical Equipment Services Provider License if total payments received are less than ten thousand dollars per year from selling or renting home medical equipment that would require a license. Additionally, the following are exempt: A hospital that provides home medical equipment services only as an integral part of patient care and does not provide the services through a separate entity that has its own Medicare or Medicaid provider number; nursing facilities; Orthotists, Prosthetists, Pedorthists or a home dialysis equipment provider regulated by federal law.

M - Effective June 4, 2014, TENS devices labeled by the food and drug administration (FDA) for over-the-counter use and are identified with the FDA product code "NUH.OTC.TENS” do not require the Home Medical Services Provider License.

N - Any instruction to the patient regarding the prescription and clinical use of equipment must be performed by an OH licensed audiologist or another authorized practitioner such as a physician. A supplier may contract with an OH qualified individual to provide this service to the patient. Non licensed personnel may only deliver cochlear impact equipment for use by a patient.

O - Any instruction to the patient regarding the prescription and clinical use of equipment must be performed by an OH licensed speech-language pathologist or another authorized practitioner such as a physician. A supplier may contract with an OH qualified individual to provide this service to the patient. Non licensed personnel may only deliver speech generating devices or voice prosthetic equipment for use by a patient.

P - Any programing of the device and instruction to the patient regarding the prescription and clinical use of equipment must be performed by an Ohio licensed audiologist or another authorized practitioner such as a physician, e.g., an ENT. A supplier may contract with an Ohio qualified individual to provide this service to the patient. Non licensed personnel may only deliver the cochlear implant equipment for use by a patient.

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