NACDS is a proud sponsor of the Indiana Pharmacy Associations’ (IPA) annual Legislative Day at the Indiana State House. The advocacy event allows pharmacists, students and pharmacy technicians to educate legislators about the importance of pharmacies as a convenient, accessible community healthcare destination, as well as an opportunity to promote pharmacists and technicians as vital members of the healthcare team.
Also in Indiana, the Family and Social Services Administration’s (FSSA) Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) issued Bulletin 2023181 updating billing guidance for Novavax COVID-19 vaccinations. The reimbursement is carved out of managed care benefits.
Also in Indiana, all pharmacy groups are strongly supporting SB 192, legislation that would allow pharmacists to administer all Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)-approved vaccines to anyone 11 years of age and older under a physician protocol.
Finally in Indiana, HB 1327, a PBM audit and transparency bill supported by the Employers Group of Indiana, was heard in the House Public Health Committee on January 16.
