Frequently Asked Questions
If I do not qualify for an ASF license, do I need to be licensed as a health care entity?
If you use medications in your facility and need a DEA registration, you must hold an active health care entity-pharmacy license. If a facility paid for an ASF license in lieu of renewing the health care entity license, we will adjust the payment submitted for the ASF license to cover the renewal fee for the health care entity license. We will refund the remainder of the ASF license payment.
How do I switch from the ASF license to a pharmacy health care entity license?
For those who qualify, to cancel your ASF license and apply for a health care entity license, you can download the application from health care entity application packet. Send us your application and include a letter explaining that you wish to cancel your ASF license and become licensed as a health care entity.
