The Retail Association of Nevada, NACDS and the Nevada Pharmacy Alliance sponsored the Pharmacy Day at the Capitol on May 1. More than 50 pharmacists and pharmacy students met at the Capitol to advocate for patient care and the profession. Pharmacist State Senator Jeff Stone (R), the sponsor of SB 201, legislation that clarifies pharmacists can order CLIA tests and serve as lab director, as well as providing payment parity for Medicaid services provided by pharmacist, joined the group that evening at The Brewery in Carson City.
Also in Nevada, SB 57, legislation which will require PBMs to register the Division of Insurance and Department of Business and Industry passed the Senate and is pending in the Assembly Committee on Commerce and Labor.
