The Iowa Medicaid Enterprise issued an Informational Letter clarifying how pharmacists can enroll as providers, enabling them to order and dispense naloxone and smoking cessation products, as well as order and administer vaccines to Medicaid members. Payment for pharmacists enrolled as providers will be effective July 1, 2020. For more information, please see the Iowa Pharmacy Association Journal article.
Also in Iowa... NACDS reminds members that the Iowa Medicaid Enterprise’s biennial cost of dispensing survey was sent to pharmacies on February 4 and is due by March 26. More information can be found on a recent Informational Letter.
