On June 10th, the Board of Pharmacy posted on their website COVID-19 testing guidance for pharmacists and pharmacies.
Also in Texas... The Health and Human Services Department Vendor Drug Program (VDP) Medicaid Pharmacy Provider Procedural Manual recent update includes payment providers algorithms stating that the VDP pharmacy claims systems consider usual and customary price to include discount cards….. “Pharmacies cannot exclude discount prices given to customers from its determination of the most frequently charged price for the same drug when reporting the UAC price to Texas Medicaid on a claim transaction. If a discount price is advertised for a drug then the discount price must be reported to Texas Medicaid as the UAC price for the same drug, unless the most frequently charged price is lower.”
