The Cabinet for Heath and Family Services released an extremely positive, in-depth report on parity in pharmacy payment for services. The report is a result of SJR 46, legislation adopted in 2025 that NACDS supported. The report found that paying pharmacies for clinical services would have minimal costs and positively impact access to care. As a result, NACDS intends to work with in-state partners to pass legislation mandating Medicaid payment for services in 2026.
Also in Kentucky, MedImpact issued an updated list of covered influenza vaccines, effective August 16. As a reminder, MedImpact does not require pharmacies to enroll in the Vaccines for Children program to be eligible for reimbursement.
