Another Reason Congress Needs to Be Very Clear About What Any New Federal Compounding Legislation Covers: New Company--PharmaCo., LLC. form-alliance of compounding pharmacies and drs.; New Questions Raised.


PharmaCo's website indicates that it 

represents a nationwide collective of compounding pharmacies that provide fulfillment services to physicians participating in topical pain modalities.
We do business in all 50 states through our Pharmacy Partnership Program, jointly delivering a compelling suite of services for physicians (Practice Support Program - hyperlink this to the description) that minimizes practice overhead while maximizing patient satisfaction.

quoted from PharmaCo website.  Would the draft Senate or House Legislation cover a LLC that includes an "alliance" of compounding pharmacies?  Is this a way for compounding pharmacies to avoid the draft federal legislation applying to them?  How many compounding pharmacies are already a part of this alliance?  Who is a part of this alliance? Does Congress need specific provisions to deal with these types of groups?   Will we see more of these partnership/alliances forming?  Will a similar alliance form with regard to compounding veterinary pharmacies?
