All Home Medical Equipment Services Provider licenses (HMEL) and registrations (HMER) are set to expire on June 30, 2024. As OAMES previously reported to members, the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy released updated information about the current renewal cycle that is now underway. Please note that the Board of Pharmacy sent an email notification to HME service providers on May 1 indicating that licenses/registrations can be renewed so be sure to take action soon!
On a separate but related note, the HME Advisory Committee of the Board of Pharmacy will begin meeting again this year to work on the five-year rule review of OAC 4729:11 Home Medical Equipment Service providers rules administered by the Board. The first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 23.
OAMES will participate in the meetings, track the progress of the committee’s work, and share rule updates as needed with OAMES members.
