TO:  All Pharmacy Providers


The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) did not approve Alabama’s request for an increased pharmacy dispensing fee; therefore, effective Wednesday, July 13, 2016, the dispensing fee for outpatient pharmacy claims will revert back to $10.64. Within upcoming checkwrite cycles, adjustments will be made in chronological order beginning with dates of service November 15, 2015, to reconcile the difference in dispensing fees.
