Notes:17

A - Per http://www.dhp.virginia.gov/pharmacy/pharmacy_faq.htm “If the out-of-state pharmacy is shipping, mailing, or otherwise delivering prescription drugs into Virginia to Virginia residents, registration as a non-resident pharmacy is required. However, if the out-of-state pharmacy is not mailing, shipping, or delivering into Virginia and is only dispensing to Virginia residents who come into the pharmacy to have prescriptions filled, Virginia law does not require registration.”

B - Products and services may also be rendered by an Optician if a prescription for glasses and contact lenses is written by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist.

C - Medical Equipment Supplier: This permit gives the permit holder the authority to dispense, directly to the patient or ultimate user pursuant to an order of a prescriber, only the following prescription (Rx-only) items: hypodermic syringes and needles, medicinal oxygen, Schedule VI controlled devices, those Schedule VI controlled substances with no medicinal properties that are used for the operation and cleaning of medical equipment, solutions for peritoneal dialysis, and sterile water or saline for irrigation. Suppliers located outside of Virginia must hold a Non-Resident Medical Equipment Supplier permit. The permit is not needed if the supplier only provides non-prescription (over-the-counter) devices.

D - A Sanitizer Permit is required for all suppliers treating used products before they are re-rented (for both in state suppliers and out of state suppliers). VA law allows for companies to sanitize items at a single licensed location and transport items to branch locations. Thus a Sanitizer Permit is only required at the location where sanitation takes place. This license is issued by the VA Dept. of Health, Bedding and Upholstered Furniture Inspection department. (Rev 06/18/2015)

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