Why do states not pay reasonable dispensing fees? My state pays wac, (with no additional %), and a $3.40 dispensing fee. Now they are implementing copays, which the patient can say they cannot afford. Pharmacies cannot refuse to fill the script, so in some cases we would lose money. Generic prescriptions are the only profitable way we can stay in the Medicaid business.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178650201202376246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-67626962229204475592007-12-20T11:23:00.000-05:002007-12-20T11:23:00.000-05:00Adam-<BR/>You have definitely posted the correct/final version of the Order.
