Verified Pharmacy Program (VPP) helping to ease burden of all the nonresident pharmacy inspections that need to be completed

On-Demand Inspections Pharmacy boards around the country are being faced with nonresident pharmacies that have not been inspected in a reasonable time or in some cases have never been inspected. This of course puts the state in a position of not being sure that the pharmacy is operated in a safe or even a legal manner. As a result, many states are requiring that a recent copy of an inspection by the state of domicile accompany an initial or renewal nonresident application. This puts a hardship on the state of domicile at a time when budgets prohibit most states from performing what has come to be known as the “on-demand” inspection. Fortunately, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) has developed the Verified Pharmacy Program™ (VPP™), which can assist nonresident pharmacies in meeting the inspection requirement for some states. More information about VPP, including details on the application process, fees, and processing time, is available in the Programs section of the NABP website, www.nabp.net

Europe bans Chinese API maker over contamination issues March 31, 2015 | By Eric Palmer

The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines has banned products from a Chinese maker of iodine after an inspection at its plant by French inspectors turned up contamination issues in its manufacturing processes, issues with its purified water system and a piece of testing equipment that may have been put in the facility just for show.

In a filing in the European Inspections database, French regulators said they recommended the suspension of the marketing authorization of Huzhou Sunflower Pharmaceutical this month after an inspection in late January of its plant in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, documented 27 deficiencies, including one critical and four major deficiencies. more

    Pharmacist Sentenced in Manhattan Federal Court to 36 Months in Prison in Multi-Million-Dollar Medicare/Medicaid Fraud Scheme The Defendant Sold and Received Reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid for Illegally Diverted Prescription Drugs Obtained from Patients

    OfficeMarch 26, 2015
    • Southern District of New York(212) 637-2600
    Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that PURNA CHANDRA ARAMALLA was sentenced today to 36 months in prison, and ordered to pay over $7 million in restitution, for conducting a scheme to defraud Medicaid, Medicare, and the New York State-funded AIDS Drug Assistance Program (“ADAP”) through the purchase and sale of illegally diverted prescription drugs, including HIV medication. ARAMALLA was also sentenced for tax evasion. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty.
    Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “Purna Aramalla’s prescription drug diversion scheme defrauded millions of dollars from programs established to provide health care assistance for the elderly and indigent. The scheme also jeopardized the health of anyone induced to sell his or her prescription or medication, and anyone who unwittingly purchased repackaged drugs.”
    ARAMALLA, a pharmacist, owned and operated A Fair Deal Pharmacy Inc. in Queens, New York, and Quality Drug Inc. in the Bronx, New York. Using these pharmacies, ARAMALLA carried out a multimillion-dollar scheme to defraud the New York State Medicaid, Medicare, and ADAP programs through the sale of diverted prescription drugs, that is, drugs not obtained from legitimate sources.
    As part of the scheme, ARAMALLA purchased prescription drugs, including high-cost medications used to treat HIV, that were obtained from patients who sold the drugs rather than use them to treat their illnesses. ARAMALLA then repackaged and resold those prescription drugs to his customers, as if they were new drugs obtained from legitimate sources. ARAMALLA requested and received reimbursement from Medicaid, Medicare, and ADAP in connection with these sales, even though these programs would not have been willing to reimburse the cost of second-hand drugs. In addition, in some cases, these programs had already paid for the prescription drugs when they were initially dispensed. In order to make the diverted drugs appear to be new drugs from legitimate sources, ARAMALLA and his co-conspirators used lighter fluid and other means to dissolve the adhesive on the patient labels on prescription bottles so that they could be removed and replaced with new labels.
    ARAMALLA also sought and obtained reimbursement for prescription drugs that were never actually dispensed to patients. Instead, customers with prescriptions for drugs essentially “sold” their prescriptions to ARAMALLA, agreeing not to take delivery of the drugs in exchange for a share of the reimbursed proceeds.
    From January 2010 to September 2013, ARAMALLA’s pharmacies received more than $10 million in reimbursements from Medicaid, Medicare, and ADAP that cannot be accounted for by ARAMALLA’s purchases from legitimate wholesalers.
    In addition to his prison term, ARAMALLA, 67, of Port Washington, New York, was ordered to forfeit $7,503,605, pay restitution to his victims in the same amount, file amended tax returns for the years 2010 through 2012, and pay back taxes and applicable penalties.
    Mr. Bharara praised the outstanding investigative work of the New York FBI Health Care Fraud Task Force and the Internal Revenue Service. He also thanked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, the New York State Office of Medicaid Inspector General, and the New York City Human Resources Administration.
    The New York FBI Health Care Fraud Task Force was formed in 2007 in an effort to combat health care fraud in the greater New York City area. The task force comprises agents, officers, and investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the New York City Police Department, the New York State Insurance Fraud Bureau, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Office of Personnel Management Inspector General, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, New York State Attorney General’s Office, New York State Office of Medicaid Inspector General, New York State Health and Hospitals Inspector General, and the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
    The case is being prosecuted by the Office’s Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Niketh Velamoor and Andrew Adams are in charge of the prosecution.

    Washington, D.C.-Area Pharmacist Indicted and Arrested on Charges Involving Illegal Pharmaceutical Shipments Defendant is Accused of Operating a Rogue Internet Pharmacy, Generating About $8.3 Million in Illegal Proceeds


    U.S. Attorney’s OfficeMarch 30, 2015
    • District of Columbia(202) 252-6933
    WASHINGTON—A man who owned a pharmacy in Washington, D.C. has been arrested following his indictment on federal charges that he and a physician from Florida operated an Internet pharmacy site that illegally shipped prescription-required controlled and non-controlled drugs from Washington, D.C. to more than 38,000 customers in the United States.
    Titilayo (Tomi) Akintomide Akinyoyenu, 47, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Nigeria, was arrested March 27, 2015, at his home in Bethesda, Md., by the FBI’s Washington Field Office. The arrest followed his indictment in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The defendant, also known as Tommy Akin, appeared in court later that day and was released on personal recognizance pending a hearing on April 3, 2015.
    The indictment, which was unsealed March 27, was announced today by U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr.; Andrew G. McCabe, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office; Karl C. Colder, Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Division Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA); David M. McGinnis, Acting Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service’s (USPIS) Washington Division, and Antoinette V. Henry, Special Agent in Charge of the Metro Washington Field Office of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Criminal Investigations.
    The indictment alleges that Akinyoyenu, a pharmacist licensed by the District of Columbia Board of Health, owned and operated an Internet pharmacy website known as apexonlinepharmacy.com between January 2005 and June 29, 2010. According to the indictment, pharmaceutical orders were illegally shipped to more than 38,000 U.S. customers from Apex Care Pharmacy, a pharmacy owned by the defendant that previously was located in the 4000 block of Minnesota Avenue NE.
    Between June 2006 and June 2010, sales income for online transactions totaled at least $8.3 million, the indictment alleges.
    The indictment also charges Alan J. Saltzman, 65, a physician from Coral Springs, Fla., with joining in the crimes. Saltzman, an osteopath who is licensed in Florida and Pennsylvania, has been sent a judicial summons to appear to answer the charges.
    Physicians who write or authorize prescriptions without a valid doctor-patient relationship are issuing invalid prescriptions because the physicians are acting outside the usual course of professional practice. Likewise, pharmacists who knowingly fill such prescriptions, or who have reason to know such prescriptions are invalid, are violating the law.
    The indictment alleges that Akinyoyenu, as chief pharmacist, filled more than 58,000 prescriptions (including refills) for pharmaceuticals for customers who ordered drugs over the Internet solely on the basis of their answers to an on-line medical questionnaire. Such prescriptions are invalid and hence illegal, according to the indictment, because no valid doctor/patient relationship exists by a customer requesting prescription required drugs over the Internet solely on the basis of completing an on-line questionnaire. A doctor approving such prescription requests never sees or examines the customer making the request, cannot verify the identity of such a customer, makes no physical examination, cannot verify the nature of the malady, makes no diagnosis, conducts no medical tests, and implements no treatment plan.
    For example, according to the charges, Akinyoyenu filled more than 9,000 Internet orders for Fioricet, which contains butalbital, a Schedule III controlled substance. The indictment charges that these and other prescriptions were illegally filled, then shipped to Internet customers across the country, all from the back of the Apex Care Pharmacy in Northeast Washington.
    The indictment alleges that Saltzman conspired with Akinyoyenu, and that he agreed to approve prescriptions requested on-line by the customers over the Internet; the indictment alleges he did so for a negotiated fee per each approved prescription. Saltzman is accused of approving all 38,000 customer requests for the Internet customers coming from all over the United States, based solely on their answers to an on-line medical questionnaire.
    Both defendants are charged with four offenses: conspiracy to distribute and dispense controlled substances, which carries a maximum possible sentence of imprisonment of 10 years and a fine of up to $500,000; conspiracy to distribute controlled drugs over the Internet, which carries a maximum imprisonment of up to 10 years, and a fine of up to $500,000; conspiracy to introduce misbranded drugs into interstate commerce, which carries a maximum period of imprisonment of up to five years and a fine of up to $500,000; and conspiracy to engage in mail fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of up to $250,000. The indictment also makes a forfeiture allegation for at least $8.3 million, which is the amount of funds allegedly involved in the illegal Internet operation.
    An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed a violation of criminal laws and every defendant is presumed innocent until, and unless, proven guilty.
    This investigation was sponsored and supported by the Department of Justice’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. The case was investigated by the FBI’s Washington Field Office; the Drug Enforcement Administration; the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations. Senior Litigation Counsel Linda I. Marks of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Division’s Consumer Protection Branch provided assistance in the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John P. Dominguez, who coordinated the investigation and presented the evidence to the grand jury.

    Question of the Day March 31, 2015 Some pharmacy groups are recommending that their members not supply lethal injection drugs. With some of the issues already in the Supreme Court was this message to members too late in coming? Isn't the potential still there for the Supreme Court to issue a damaging opinion regarding compounded drugs? Isn't the potential also there for the Supreme Court to issue a very favorable opinion toward compounded drugs used in lethal injection? If this happens will these groups stand by their positions?

    EverPet LLC, PDO 168-22 The Board reviewed an Agenda Memorandum from Inspector Susan Martin regarding a recent routine inspection of Everpet LLC. After careful consideration of the available information, the Board voted unanimously to write a letter to this newly registered pharmacy explaining that future violations (particularly when repeated) may result in the initiation of a complaint and disciplinary action against both the pharmacy and its pharmacist manager. They may not conduct business in another state without first obtaining a nonresident pharmacy registration from that state unless otherwise not required by a state.
