The First Administrative Expungement in Tennessee — Dr. Kevin Hartman

Dr. Kevin Hartman spent 25 years building NPS Pharmacy from one store in Nashville into a company serving patients across six states. In April 2026, he also became the first person in Tennessee to use the state’s new administrative expungement law — clearing a decades-old mark from his pharmacy license. He sat down with Matt Gibbs, healthcare regulatory attorney at RxLaw Group, to talk about what independent pharmacies do that the chains can’t, how the 340B program really works, why compliance comes down to documentation, and the day his record came clean.
