Partners Pharmacy of Virginia, LLC, located in Richmond, has agreed to pay $100,000 to settle civil penalty claims stemming from alleged record-keeping violations. The United States alleged that Partners Pharmacy, a pharmacy that serves long-term care, skilled and assisted living communities, violated the Controlled Substances Act by failing to maintain complete and accurate records of controlled substances, failing to document transfers of Schedule II controlled substances, and failing to timely notify the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) of theft or losses of controlled substances. Under the terms of a parallel administrative resolution, Partners Pharmacy entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the DEA under which the pharmacy has agreed to heightened compliance requirements.
