Executive Summary
MANAGED CARE REIMBURSEMENT OF OTCs WOULD REQUIRE PHARMACIST DOCUMENTATION, thereby limiting coverage of over-the-counter drugs to those products purchased in stores with pharmacies, FoxMeyer Group VP Robert Davis noted in a Sept. 26 presentation at the Food Marketing Institute's annual meeting in St. Louis. There is potential for pharmacy benefit managers to reimburse for OTC products "but we won't allow that to happen without proper documentation by a professional pharmacist," Davis said.
