Another day, another Dollar. The dispensing fee reduction is reduced!

March 15, 2011

In the Texas Legislature nothing is final until it’s final.  So it’s too early to be sure, but thanks to your grassroots lobbying and the professional work of those in Austin who represent your profession, there is BREAKING NEWS from the Senate Subcommitte on Medicaid.  An hour ago, these elected officials have agreed to decrease the proposed $2.00 reduction in the Medicaid pharmacy dispensing fee by $1.  If it holds, some may call this a victory.  But is it success?  What about the matter of the other dollar?  Clearly, there is more work to do!  Check our latest ALERT from earlier today and thank the Senators for what has been done so far, but please keep up the pressure.
