Donating Unused Medications Follow Up on SB-1329

As of January 1, 2013 the billed called SB-1329 allows RCFEs of 16 beds or more to participate in the donating of certain unused medications.  Naturally there are very specific guidelines and documentation that must be adhered to.  Information on this bill can be found on page 15 of the newest change to the Evaluator's Manual.  Please download the change to learn more.

So, you want to participate in SB-1329?  If so, a non-profit group called SIRUM.org offers a good way to do so.  They make it very easy to donate unused medications and will teach you what you need to know.  We have invited them to attend the RENO 2013 conference in May as well.
