This morning, Representative Garth Everett (R-84) introduced House Bill 1595, which would establish a $10.49 professional dispensing fee in the Medicaid program while reimbursing pharmacies for ingredient cost based on the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC), or Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) when no NADAC is available. This bill is vital in correcting DHS’s egregious proposal to cut pharmacy Medicaid reimbursement, which is likely to be acted upon in the coming weeks.
