The Health Care Commission and Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) are hosting the Blueprint for Dispenser Reporting of Non-CDS Dispenses webinar on July 23 at 1:00 pm EST via Zoom. Registration is required by July 21. During the webinar, presenters will discuss new requirements for dispensers to report noncontrolled (non-CDS) prescription drugs to the prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) starting September 1, outlined in Noncontrolled Prescription Drugs Dispenser Data Submission Manual. Attendees are encouraged to share questions ahead of the webinar. Please email your questions to mhcc.noncds@maryland.gov. Please note, CRISP will also host a technical webinar on July 29 at 1:00 pm EST via Zoom to walk through the process for submitting non-CDS dispensing information. Please register in advance for the Non-CDS Data Submission Webinar.
Also in Maryland, NACDS reminds members that Medicaid pays for certain pharmacy healthcare services including MTM, administration of medications, tobacco cessation and vaccinations. They will also pay for any services provided under a collaborative practice agreement (CPA). For more details and enrollment instructions, please refer to this Advisory Bulletin.
