I see I've let my HPSO policy lapse. They ask a compounding question on their quote tool (that I believe is meant for retail), that if I answer truthfully renders me uninsurable. Who's everyone using these days? Proliability (Mercer) is cheaper, I can't get a quote to come through on Pharmacists Mutual. Any other recs?
 
what type of compounding? What was the question?

years ago because of the New England disaster- IV compounding coverage cost like 4x as much, so I moved from pharmacist mutual to HPSO- but now I don't do any IV compounding (other than the rare TPA in the ED) - which really isn't compounding, it is reconstitution.

Can't remember the exact verbiage, but something like: 1) Do you compound or supervise the preparation of compounded products? 2) Is all compounding made pursuant to a prescription for a specific patient.

I don't do either on a routine basis, but if I'm covering an evening or weekend or something I occasionally check a sterile product. And let's just say our IV room would make for a "WTF were they thinking?" Pharmacy Times article.
 
Seriously? I have HPSO and I'm sure I've answered yes to the compounding question, and I get my renewal each year.
