Protect Your Michigan Pharmacy: Stay Ahead of Compliance Risks in 2026

Running a pharmacy in Michigan means navigating one of the most tightly regulated healthcare environments in the country. Between the Michigan Public Health Code, Board of Pharmacy regulations, DEA oversight, and shifting federal rules on controlled substances and telehealth prescribing, compliance isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for survival.

Whether you operate an independent pharmacy or manage a chain location, even a minor oversight in recordkeeping, billing, or licensing can trigger investigations, costly penalties, or even professional discipline. At Szura & Delonis PLC, we help Michigan pharmacists and pharmacy owners protect their businesses, their licenses, and their reputations.Running a pharmacy in Michigan means navigating one of the most tightly regulated healthcare environments in the country.

The Growing Complexity of Pharmacy Compliance

The last few years have brought sweeping changes to how pharmacies must operate. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) now expects heightened accountability in controlled substance dispensing, pharmacy technician supervision, compounding standards, and credential renewals. At the same time, federal regulators and insurers are cracking down on billing irregularities and documentation errors.

Common risk areas for Michigan pharmacies include:

• Inadequate controlled substance tracking or inventory reconciliation
• Billing or coding errors under Medicare, Medicaid, or private payers
• Failure to properly supervise technicians or interns
• Violations involving remote or off-site dispensing
• Recordkeeping deficiencies during board or DEA audits

Pharmacies often find themselves facing regulatory investigations, audit demands, or complaints without warning. By the time a notice arrives, the clock is already ticking—and what you say or submit in response can determine the outcome.

How Szura & Delonis Helps Michigan Pharmacies

Our attorneys represent pharmacies and pharmacists across Michigan in all stages of regulatory compliance, investigation, and defense. With decades of combined experience in healthcare law and administrative proceedings, we understand how regulators think and what actions protect your license.

Our services include:

• Proactive compliance audits and policy development
• Defense of pharmacy license complaints before LARA and the Board of Pharmacy
• Response strategies for DEA, auditor, or Department of Health investigations
• Risk management advice tailored to Michigan pharmacy operations
• Training for staff on documentation and regulatory communication

We know that every pharmacy operates differently, so our guidance is designed to fit your specific operations and risk profile. When you need experienced counsel, you want a team that understands both the letter of the law and the realities of running a modern pharmacy.

Take Action Before Problems Arise

Too often, pharmacies reach out only after receiving a subpoena, audit letter, or notice of violation. By then, options can be more limited. Taking proactive steps now—reviewing your policies, conducting internal audits, and shoring up documentation—is one of the most cost-effective ways to secure your business and license.

If your Michigan pharmacy has questions about compliance, licensing, or pending investigations, don’t wait to seek experienced legal guidance.
