| Medicaid Dispensing Fee Increase
Delayed |
The increased dispensing fee
approved in this past Texas legislative session is
on hold awaiting CMS
approval.
Medicaid is not just a state
program. Although the legislature and governor write and
approve dispensing fees for pharmacists participating in
State Medicaid Vendor Drug Program, any changes require
federal approval. The state has submitted the plan
amendment approval request.
Once that approval comes through, the
increase to $7.50 per prescription will be
paid retroactive to the Sept. 1,
2007 implementation date.
American Pharmacies will notify you
as soon as the increase is
approved. | |
