Dispensers may request exemptions from required K-TRACS reporting under certain circumstances as outlined in K.A.R. 68-21-2. All exemption requests must be submitted by pharmacists-in-charge (PICs) and are reviewed by K-TRACS staff. Dispensers will receive notice of approval or denial and must continue reporting to K-TRACS while waiting on a determination of exempt status. All renewals should be submitted online.
Exemptions must be renewed annually between August 1 and August 31. Pharmacists-in-charge (PICs) will receive email notification when the renewal period is open, and PICs must submit the renewal each year. Renewals are also required when:
Dispensers that no longer meet the criteria for an exemption shall notify the Board and begin submitting dispensations and/or zero reports within 7 days. Board staff may revoke an exemption for a dispenser at any time or request an explanation for the exemption upon routine review of registered dispensers.
