The application in Nevada, which was issued Jan. 25, is a little more detailed.

On the applications where it describes the types of products that will be handled by the wholesale firm, it lists “legend pharmaceuticals, supplies, or devices and hypodermic devices.”

The Food and Drug Administration decides whether a medication is over-the-counter or a legend pharmaceutical, which requires a prescription, according to Larry Pinson, executive secretary for the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy.

A box that is left unchecked on the Nevada application is the ability to handle controlled substances.

The license in Nevada allows Amazon to ship into the state from the three facilities in Indiana, Pinson said.

On two of the three applications submitted in Nevada, the facility manager is listed as Casey Burnette, who lists the following qualifications and experience: “senior production supervisor for Boston Scientific Corporation, direct involvement in the design and manufacturer of medical devices used in a range of interventional medical specialties including endoscopy, urology and gynecology,” according to the application.

In the licenses for Tennessee, Ryan Bingham is listed.

Bingham, according to his LinkedIn profile, is a senior operations leader for Amazon in the Indianapolis area. Prior to joining Amazon in September of last year, he served as director of operations for Express Scripts in Indianapolis.
