How shortages have affected compounding permissions

How shortages have affected compounding permissions I have a specific reason for asking rather than idle curiosity, and the context is below.

A coverage question with the paperwork detail included, since that is what determines the answer.

Denial received, with a stated reason. My reading of the reason is that it tells me exactly what to submit next, which is the useful thing about a well-written denial.

Before I spend a week on it: is my reading of the stated criterion correct, and is there a documented precedent for this specific ground?

Compounding during shortages: some jurisdictions allow pharmacy compounding when a marketed product is in shortage. That permission is jurisdiction-specific and time-limited (usually for the duration of the shortage).

post #14 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Managing an unplanned gap: if a shortage causes a gap in treatment, the questions are how long the gap will be and how that affects your condition. Discussing with your clinician is prudent if the gap is weeks or longer.

Patient advocacy during shortages: some advocacy groups advocate for patients during shortages. Knowing who they are and following their communication is useful.

International supply chains: a shortage in one country does not mean shortage in another. That is why ordering from multiple suppliers before a shortage gets bad is prudent if you can.

Coming back to post #30, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Managing an unplanned gap: if a shortage causes a gap in treatment, the questions are how long the gap will be and how that affects your condition. Discussing with your clinician is prudent if the gap is weeks or longer.

Worth separating two things that post #39 runs together.

Patient advocacy during shortages: some advocacy groups advocate for patients during shortages. Knowing who they are and following their communication is useful.

Communication from suppliers: a supplier having supply problems usually communicates them. If a supplier goes silent, that is itself information.

International supply chains: a shortage in one country does not mean shortage in another. That is why ordering from multiple suppliers before a shortage gets bad is prudent if you can.
