The Department of Health Care Services posted the following alerts and weekly notice on the Medi-Cal Rx Web Portal:

- Medi-Cal Rx Weekly Wrap-up for September 13-19
Also in California, NACDS submitted a letter to the Board of Pharmacy expressing concerns with proposed rules updating the Board’s quality assurance program regulatory requirements. The primary concern is that these amendments could potentially put pharmacies that are members of Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) at odds with the requirements set forth in the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (PSQIA) and recommended the Board further analyze these amendments. Additionally, we requested a one-year delayed implementation of this regulation to allow pharmacies sufficient time to update their policies and systems to comply.
