Myers and Stauffer is the vendor contracted to conduct the annual prescription volume survey of pharmacy providers on behalf of the Department of Health & Welfare. In accordance with the Idaho Administrative Code 16.03.09.665.01j, the prescription volume data collected from pharmacies will be used to determine their dispensing fee tier for the following calendar year. Each year, surveys are distributed starting May 1 and will be due by May 31. Providers who fail to participate in the survey will be placed in the lowest dispensing fee tier of $11.51. Below are the current dispensing fee tiers based on Total Annual Prescription Volume:
- Fewer than 40,000 claims: $15.11 dispensing fee
- Between 40,000 and 69,999 claims: $12.35 dispensing fee
- 70,000 or greater claims: $11.51 dispensing fee
Please note that the requested information applies to total pharmacy volume and is not limited to prescription/sales information related to Department of Health & Welfare recipients unless otherwise indicated.
2025 Idaho Prescription Volume Survey
Providers should fill out the survey form for all pharmacy NPIs within their organization that are enrolled with Idaho Medicaid. For providers with 5 or more pharmacy NPIs, please upload via the “multiple store” submission option at the survey link above. For questions or help completing the survey, please contact Myers and Stauffer at pharmacy@mslc.com or toll free at 800-591-1183.
Also in Idaho, Myers and Stauffer is working with the Department of Insurance to conduct a survey of costs incurred by pharmacies to dispense prescription medications to Idaho residents. All pharmacies that dispense prescriptions to Idaho residents are requested to complete the pharmacy dispensing fee survey.
Myers and Stauffer mailed a packet with survey information to pharmacies on April 17. Providers can also access the survey documents and download an electronic version of the survey tool located on the Dispensing Fee Survey webpage.
It is very important that all pharmacies cooperate fully by filing an accurate cost survey. Pharmacies are encouraged to return the requested information as soon as possible, but forms must be returned no later than May 29.
If you have any questions, please call toll free at 1-800-374-6858 or send an email to disp_survey@mslc.com.
