The Florida Board of Pharmacy has been in rule development since passage of Senate bill 1360 during the 2008 legislative session. This bill requires pharmacy technicians to register with the Florida Department of Health. Other issues in the legislation include the following:




By January 1, 2011 Registered Technicians must have:

• Completed a Board approved training program or
• Have completed a certification program approved by NCCA or
• Have worked a minimum of 1,500 under a licensed pharmacist

The FPA has been informed by the Department of Health that technician registration will begin around the 1st of October.   Technicians will have until December 31st to register.  An on-line application is available through the Board's web site (ENTER HERE).  We do not know at this time what that application will look like. Technicians will need to be able to demonstrate that they have completed one of the three registration requisites by the end of next year (2010).  The Florida Department of Health is also making available a way for employers to apply for an "other payer code" if they plan to proactively register their pharmacy technicians.  Information on how to do that can be found through this link under "Other Payer Code Information".

For a list of frequently asked questions from the Department of Health enter here.
