Additional business information
The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On 6/29/2019 the US Department of Justice (DOJ), District of Massachusetts, announced it had reached a $75,000 civil settlement with Preferred Pharmacy Solutions, LLC (PPS) in connection with the improper dispensing of controlled substances and flawed recordkeeping.
According to the settlement, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) conducted an audit of several drugs maintained by PPS at its Haverhill location. The government’s audit revealed discrepancies for six controlled substances, including fentanyl. In addition, PPS failed to disclose on its DEA registration renewal form that its part owner, Norman Mason, previously had his pharmacy license and DEA registration revoked. The government contends that PPS violated other recordkeeping requirements, such as failing to obtain a hard copy prescription after filling a phone order for controlled substances, filling prescriptions for controlled substances with an incorrect or inaccurate DEA registration number, and storing records off-site without the permission of DEA.
