Hot Button Issues Facing Pharmacies in the Next 12 Months

With 78 million baby boomers retiring at the rate of 10,000 per day, the demand for prescription drugs and related pharmacy services will increase exponentially. Along with this increased demand will come increased scrutiny of pharmacies by government regulators, third-party payors (“TPPs”), and others. In order to successfully withstand this scrutiny, pharmacies need to be aware of the most important legal issues they will face in the upcoming months.

This program will discuss these hot-button issues and the steps that pharmacies should take to navigate them. Among other issues, this program will discuss (i) how to fill out PBM re-enrollment questionnaires; (ii) how to respond to a PBM audit; (iii) how to offer value-added services to patients without offering prohibited inducements; and (iii) providing consulting pharmacy services, EHR software, and other products and services to long term care facilities.
