The Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) is conducting a survey of dispensing costs for pharmacies participating in the Medicaid program. The Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) issued a bulletin reminding pharmacy providers to submit dispensing fee surveys by January 30.
Also in Indiana, SB 221, a bill sponsored by Sen. Ed Charbonneau (R) that requires the state health commissioner to issue a standing order, prescription or protocol to allow a pharmacist to test, treat or prescribe for influenza, COVID-19, streptococcus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), was heard in the Senate Health Provider Services Committee on January 14. The bill was left pending and is dead.
