Effective July 1, 2022, the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) reestablished payment methods for the ingredient costs of prescription drugs that existed prior to the July 1, 2021 rate freeze. This change removed the freeze for dates of service on or after July 1, 2022. On 8/22/2022, Conduent will begin adjusting claims with dates of service of 7/1/2021 through 6/30/2022 to reflect the ingredient cost of the drug in effect on the claim’s date of service.
Also in Mississippi, the Pharmacy Association will hold its 2022 Consultant Seminar on October 13, 2022, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Please visit their website for more information or Contact Mindy Phillips at mindy@mspharm.org if you have any questions or need assistance.
