QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Before you
get started.

General orientation only. Verify specific requirements for your permit and pharmacy with the responsible authority.

What is the difference between a resident and nonresident pharmacy license in Florida?

A nonresident pharmacy is located outside Florida and seeks authorization to dispense into Florida. A Florida-based pharmacy seeking permission in another state follows a different process. Confirm the applicable permit category with current Board guidance.

When may a pharmacy need to update its permit?

Ownership, business name, officer or manager changes can involve different requirements. The correct path depends on the permit and business structure. Review current Board instructions before filing.

Can Element help with renewals and license tracking?

Ask about renewal tracking, application preparation and any filing support available for your pharmacy.

Is Florida Medicaid enrollment the same as a pharmacy permit?

No. A pharmacy permit and Florida Medicaid provider enrollment are separate processes handled by different bodies. AHCA administers Medicaid provider enrollment.

Is PBM contracting the same as Medicaid enrollment?

No. PBM or plan network applications are separate commercial contracting processes. Each network makes its own participation and contract decisions.

What should I prepare before a review?

The pharmacy location, requested service, current status and a brief business description are useful. Do not send patient records, prescription details, Social Security numbers, dates of birth or bank information through this website.
