HB 48, legislation that would mandate commercial insurance payments for clinical services to pharmacists has passed both Chambers unanimously and is headed to the Governor for signature. The bill was introduced by Rep. Danny Bentley (R), and mandates payment for services within a pharmacists’ scope of practice and would otherwise be paid if performed by a physician, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant. NACDS advocated in favor of the passage of the bill.
