BE AWARE OF IMPERSONATION SCAMS: Board staff and NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) will not contact you by telephone and demand personally identifiable information or payment of funds for any reason.
Description of the Scam - In this scam, a pharmacy receives a phone call from someone who claims to represent the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy. The caller ID shows a Board of Pharmacy telephone number or NABP’s official telephone number, which bad actors have spoofed to appear legitimate. The caller then attempts to solicit information from pharmacy staff, including information that may constitute personally identifiable information (PII). Caller ID spoofing is a technique used by scammers to make an incoming call appear to originate from a trusted or official source. A familiar phone number on caller ID does not confirm the identity of the caller.
Pharmaceutical Cost Transparency
Act 220 of 2017 LegislatureAct 220 of the 2017 Legislature requires drug manufacturers marketing their drugs to Louisiana to report wholesale acquisition cost information to the Board on a quarterly basis. Until the Board has developed the web portal which manufacturers will use to report their information, the Board has established a reporting procedure for the interim reports. The Pharmaceutical Cost Transparency document is available here as well as in the Guidance Documents section in the Public Library.
