Section LIII-1137 - Pharmacy Change of Location Procedures

A. The board has established the following procedures for changing the location of any pharmacy that does not involve a change of ownership or divestiture of that pharmacy.

1. The permit holder shall notify the board in writing prior to relocating a prescription department operation.

2. The proper notice procedures for the relocation shall include the notice requirements applicable to pharmacy closing procedures noted in this subpart. However, a permit cancellation is not required for a permit holder that is moving to a location in reasonably close proximity to the original location and planning to continue pharmacy operations without a transfer of ownership. The permit holder shall notify the board for the proper re-designation of permit address and re-issuance of that same permit.

3. Inspection. A board compliance officer shall conduct an on-site inspection of the premises following receipt of written notice in the board office and prior to the opening of a prescription department in a new location.
