PHARMACEUTICAL CARE PROVISIONS DELETED FROM MINNESOTA DRUG PRICING BILL
Executive Summary
PHARMACEUTICAL CARE PROVISIONS DELETED FROM MINNESOTA DRUG PRICING BILL would have required payers to reimburse pharmacists for comprehensive pharmaceutical care services and set a dispensing fee of $5 per script plus actual acquisition cost plus 10%. Considered too generous in the context of the drug price reform bill, these provisions were removed from the measure when it was amended and approved by the Minnesota Senate's Health Care Committee March 22 and referred to the state's Senate Finance Committee.
