Our Florida healthcare attorneys provided FL DOH with medical records, including info on an insurance audit, to prove there was no fraud.
Chapman Law Group contended that the government was unable to prove, “‘by a preponderance of the evidence,’” our client’s DEA registration should be denied solely because of his Medicare/Medicaid exclusion.
There’s a simple, short answer for whether pharmacies can, carte blanche, defer a patient’s co-pays and deductibles. That answer is NO. Why Can’t Co-Pays and
Professional:
Pharmacist/Pharmacy
Primary issue:
Client pharmacy contacted the healthcare compliance attorneys at Chapman Law Group about being served with a DEA order to show cause. The pharmacist’s license was at severe risk of being taken away because of this order.
Result:
We negotiated with the DEA for over a year to avoid its order to show cause. In doing so, we put the pharmacy in a position for compliance, which included drafting and executing a Corrective Action Plan; working on a memorandum of understanding with the DEA; recommending the pharmacy to use custom software for making and following biannual reports and keeping inventories; and understanding and following all requirements for documentation under DEA rules and regulations.
Areas of Law:
Healthcare Compliance
Pharmacy Law
DEA Registration Suspensions & Revocations

Chapman Law Group contended that the government was unable to prove, “‘by a preponderance of the evidence,’” our client’s DEA registration should be denied solely because of his Medicare/Medicaid exclusion.
Our attorneys argued to the OIG that exclusion for the prescribed time period was unreasonable under OIG regulations, and that most factors that would lead to a greater exclusion period were inapplicable.
We successfully demonstrated to the DEA that the pharmacist had the financial capacity to operate a pharmacy and also fully understood his corresponding responsibilities in regarding to narcotic medication dispensing and record keeping.
