The update clarifies that reimbursement rates for the new program will be announced later this month, that Gainwell has launched a new webpage that includes important program information and useful guides including the SPBM Pharmacy Reference Guide (Provider Manual). The website will continue to be updated with information for members, pharmacies, and prescribers. Lastly, they have also released an updated version of their SBPM FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), which includes answers to many questions NACDS had previously submitted on behalf of members.
