The California Department of Public Health Licensing and Certification Program has issued an AFL to all health care facilities and providers because several facilities have recently reported visitors who claimed to be representing CDPH and/or the Department of Justice (DOJ) but who were unable to provide identification as such when asked. Do not supply any patient health information, of any kind, to someone who claims to represent either CDPH or DOJ who cannot provide an identifying badge issued by the appropriate department.The entire AFL is available on the CDPH L&C website at http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/facilities/Documents/LNC-AFL-13-01.pdf. The AFL is also available in the Alert Details Section on the CAHAN Home Page.
Although not part of the AFL, occasionally Board of Pharmacy Inspectors are periodically impersonated as well. Please carefully check the credentials of anyone who represents themselves as a state inspector seeking admission into the pharmacy or patient information
