The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced there is a growing trend in private pilots using potentially impairing drugs that could contribute to crashes.

NTSB recently analyzed toxicology tests from 6,677 pilots who died in 6,597 aviation accidents from 1990 to 2012. The study found a significant increase in pilots’ use of all drugs, including over-the- counter, prescription and illicit drugs that could cause impairment.

Include National Provider Identifier for Medicare or Medi-Cal Claims Pharmacists should encourage providers not enrolled to submit an application

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has reiterated its request that the Board of Pharmacy provide information to pharmacies on including a valid provider National Provider Identifier (NPI).

Following the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, licensed health care practitioners were required to enroll in Medicare or Medi-Cal for the sole purpose of ordering, referring, or prescribing medications, goods or services for Medi-Cal members.

Billing providers, such as pharmacies, must include a NPI for the provider who ordered, referred, or prescribed the goods or service when submitting a claim. There is currently a grace period in place to allow providers time to enroll. However, once this requirement is fully implemented, claims that do not include the NPI of an enrolled ordering, referring, or prescribing provider will be denied.

Pharmacy providers should be aware of this requirement and should encourage any provider not already enrolled with Medicare or Medi-Cal to submit an application for enrollment as soon as possible.

Below please find links to: information regarding this requirement, the enrollment application, provider bulletins and the application for an ordering, referring, prescribing (ORP) provider.

Continuing education (CE) hours are awarded to encourage pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to learn more about the issues and operation of the Board. These hours can be earned by:

• Attending one full day of a Board meeting per year (maximum of six hours of CE per year); or • Attending a one-day committee meeting (two hours of CE for each of two different committee meetings—maximum of four hours per year).

Note: It is the pharmacy technician’s responsibility to determine from the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board how many, if any, of the above hours are acceptable for recertification with that board. Recertification is NOT a requirement of the California State Board of Pharmacy for pharmacy technician license renewal.

Board of Pharmacy meetings are held at least four times per year: typically January, April, July and October. There are five committees that usually hold public meetings prior to each Board meeting:

• Enforcement and Compounding Committee—Makes recommendations to the Board regarding oversight of all regulatory and enforcement activities to strengthen consumer protection. • Licensing Committee—Makes recommendations to the Board regarding the development of standards for the professional qualifications of licensees. • Legislation and Regulation Committee—Advocates legislation and recommends regulations that advance the vision and mission of the Board to improve the health and safety of Californians. • Communication and Public Education Committee—Prepares information to improve consumer awareness and licensee knowledge. • SB 493 Implementation Committee—Works on components to implement additional authorized pharmacist services and to create new licensure of advanced practice pharmacist.

Attendance at these meetings provides an opportunity to participate in the development of policies that will guide the Board in its decision-making. Frequently, both statutory and regulatory texts are formulated at such meetings, modifications to current programs are developed, and evidence-based decisions are made.

Board or committee meetings are held in various locations throughout California to give the public and licensees the opportunity to attend. No reservations are needed; you simply arrive at the meeting location at the start of the meeting. For Board meetings, only one day is designated as eligible for CE. This is specified on the agenda. To obtain CE credit for attending committee meetings, attendees must arrive at the designated start of the meeting and register on the CE sign-in sheet, and sign out when they leave.

Future Board meeting dates are:

 April 21-22, 2015

 July 28-29, 2015

 October 28-29, 2015

Additional information regarding the dates, locations, and agendas for Board and committee meetings will be posted on the Board’s Web site, http://www.pharmacy.ca.gov/about/meetings.shtml, at least 10 days prior to each meeting. Also, about five days before each meeting, you may download meeting information packets that contain background information and action items that will be discussed during the meeting.
