The Department of Human Services (DHS) issued an Informational Letter with details about how Medicaid enrolled pharmacists may order and administer vaccines in compliance with the Iowa Board of Pharmacy Immunizations Statewide Protocol which becomes effective June 1, 2021.
Also in Iowa. DHS issued the report from its 2020 Cost of Dispensing survey. Based on the data collected in the survey, the dispensing fee will increase from $10.07 to $10.38. However, NACDS is working with partners and the State to understand how this will be implemented.
Lastly in Iowa. The Department of Public Health regularly updates its COVID website with new information, including a December 1 update to its COVID 19 Vaccine Information Brief. Please visit the above websites for more information.
