The Board of Pharmacy does not interpret its Rules as requiring a DME supplier to provide maintenance services for oxygen equipment that is not owned by the DME supplier or otherwise subject to a maintenance program provided by the DME supplier. However, a DME supplier that provides maintenance services for oxygen equipment must comply with all applicable home medical equipment laws of North Carolina and all applicable Board of Pharmacy Rules, regardless of whether such maintenance services are deemed reasonable and necessary services by CMS.
