If you own or manage a pharmacy in California, you’ve likely heard of  Natalia Mazina, a pharmacy attorney and an advocate of pharmacy practice. Natalia has more than 10 years of experience working closely with pharmacy management providing guidance, advice, and counseling in this increasingly complex and challenging area.

She handles a wide range of issues involving PBM matters (audits and contractual terminations), pharmacy rules and regulations, federal compliance (HIPAA, DEA, FDA), licensure investigations, and administrative matters.  Read more about Natalia and her practice.

“Over the years of working with pharmacies, I noticed that many do not prioritize their compliance. I’ve seen too many cases where a lack of strong internal policy caused a complete downfall of a healthcare provider. Because so many healthcare players – such as PBMs, Boards, FDA, DEA, FBI, Medicaid, Medicare – are closely watching pharmacies, it’s imperative that pharmacies implement customized policies and train their staff on what is expected and required from them.

I was surprised to learn that many of my clients did not know where to obtain policies and procedures or they had generic policies that often did not apply to them. So I wanted to create a platform where pharmacy owners and managers could easily navigate compliance, download necessary documents, and obtain advice on policy customization. I think the most important part of this website is complimentary consultations to discuss customization. I hope this website makes pharmacy managers’ lives easier and gives them a good handle on what is required to run a smooth operation.”
