Billing & Payment

Traditionally, pharmacist reimbursement has largely been focused on obtaining payment for the provision of products, like prescription medications. Today, pharmacists have an expanded scope of practice and the pharmacy profession has incorporated more clinical aspects into routine patient care, like chronic disease management, care transitions interventions, and medication therapy management. For these clinical services to be sustainable, pharmacists must be able to receive payment for the resources and time dedicated to improving patient care and outcomes.

Currently, pharmacists are not recognized as providers under Medicare Part B and therefore cannot directly bill for most of the clinical services they have been trained to provide. However, through collaborations with other health professionals, state insurers, private insurers and health systems, pharmacists can implement more sustainable clinical programs into their practices.

Our payment resources are designed to help you understand existing and emerging opportunities to be compensated for providing certain patient care services.
