Re: Premier Medical Rental Corp, Case No. 1751
Dear Executive Director Hendrick,
This office has received your request for a written Attorney General Opinion regarding disciplinary action the State Board of Pharmacy (the “Board”) intends to take in the above-referenced case. Premier Medical Rental Corp. (“Respondent”) is a DME Supplier/Medical Gas Distributor located in Idabel, Oklahoma. Respondent's Oklahoma DME Supplier/Medical Gas Distributor License No. 25-G-8147 was issued by the Board in August 2023.
The Oklahoma Pharmacy Act authorizes the Board to regulate the practice of pharmacy and the sale and distribution of drugs, medicines, chemicals and poisons. It also authorizes the Board to "[i]ssue licenses to . . . medical gas suppliers, medical gas distributors, and suppliers of durable medical equipment." 59 O.S.Supp. 2022, § 353.7(5). The Board may “[r]eprimand, place on probation, suspend, revoke permanently and levy fines . . . any person charged with violating the Oklahoma Pharmacy Act or Oklahoma Board of Pharmacy administrative rules[.]” 59 O.S.Supp. 2022, § 353.7(12).
On May 6, 2026, the Board conducted a hearing in which witnesses were called, testimony was taken, and evidence was admitted. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board found clear and convincing evidence established that the Respondent's August 2023, October 2024, and October 2025 License Applications submitted to the Board were not true and complete, and that the Respondent failed to report or disclose the true ownership, or change in ownership. Therefore, the Respondent violated various provisions of the Oklahoma Pharmacy Act and Title 535 of the Oklahoma Administrative Code, including OAC 535:25-3-3(d), which states that "[t]he applicant shall fully and completely disclose ownership of any . . . medical gas supplier or medical gas distributor or any other person licensed by the Board."
The Board concluded that the most appropriate disciplinary action is permanent revocation of Respondent's DME Supplier/Medical Gas Distributor License. It is, therefore, the official opinion of the Attorney General that the State Board of Pharmacy’s proposed action is in accordance with the State’s policy to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
