Facing a $850M budget deficit, Gov. Jaris Polis (D) proposed cuts to the Medicaid professional dispensing fee (PDF) for pharmacies. For fiscal year 2025-2026, the Health Care Financing and Policy (HCFP) will cut the tiered fee by $85,000 and propose a $506,000 reduction for 2026-2027. Reimbursements for high-volume pharmacies will drop from $10.25 to $9.93 and from $9.31 to $8.72.
Also in Colorado, a Rural Health Transformation Program Webinar for all stakeholders will be held from 10:00 am – 11:30 am Mountain Time on December 2.
