The Patient Access to Pharmacists’ Care Coalition (PAPCC)
• Publically announced early March 2014
•Currently more than 29 organizations and growing
•Representing patients, pharmacists, and pharmacies, as well as other interested stakeholders

PAPCC – H.R. 592 and S. 314Scope of Proposal
• Pharmacists – State-licensed pharmacists with a B.S. Pharm. or Pharm. D. degree who may have additional training and certificates depending on state laws
• Services – Services authorized under state pharmacy scope of practice laws
• Patients – Services provided in/ for Medically Underserved Areas (MUA), Medically Underserved Populations (MUP), or Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA)
• Reimbursement – Consistent with Medicare reimbursement for other non-physician practitioners, pharmacist services would typically be reimbursed at 85% of the physician fee schedule
![Page 36: Anticipating the Future: Trends to Look for in Pharmacy Krystalyn Weaver, PharmD Director, Policy and State Relations National Alliance of State Pharmacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649e595503460f94b539ec/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

pharmacists eligible under the
federal bill?

Provider Status at the State Level
The 3 Components and Current Landscape
![Page 40: Anticipating the Future: Trends to Look for in Pharmacy Krystalyn Weaver, PharmD Director, Policy and State Relations National Alliance of State Pharmacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649e595503460f94b539ec/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
State vs. Federal Landscape
State• Designation not
usually associated with payment
• Scope of practice defined in state statute
• Incremental changes, year by year
• No one solution fits every state
Federal• Designation in Social
Security Act would likely lead to payment for service
• Scope of practice not defined
• All “asks” are a heavy lift, difficult to go back year after year
• Generally unified goal
Common Goal:Patient Access to Pharmacists’ Patient
Care Services
![Page 41: Anticipating the Future: Trends to Look for in Pharmacy Krystalyn Weaver, PharmD Director, Policy and State Relations National Alliance of State Pharmacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649e595503460f94b539ec/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

A Focus on Payment for Services at the State
Level
![Page 43: Anticipating the Future: Trends to Look for in Pharmacy Krystalyn Weaver, PharmD Director, Policy and State Relations National Alliance of State Pharmacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649e595503460f94b539ec/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
State Provided Medical Benefits
• State Employees and/or State Medicaid programs
• Some states have found success in implementing an MTM or other pharmacy service benefit into one of these state funded programs
•Could be done with or without recognition as a provider in that state
• Example: Minnesota
![Page 44: Anticipating the Future: Trends to Look for in Pharmacy Krystalyn Weaver, PharmD Director, Policy and State Relations National Alliance of State Pharmacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649e595503460f94b539ec/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Mandate for Private Insurers
•Addition of a provision within the insurance code could attempt to require that a service that is provided by pharmacists (such as MTM or other services) be covered
• Example: Washington State
![Page 45: Anticipating the Future: Trends to Look for in Pharmacy Krystalyn Weaver, PharmD Director, Policy and State Relations National Alliance of State Pharmacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649e595503460f94b539ec/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Working with Private Insurers (no legislative action)
• There is nothing stopping private insurers from covering any service they find valuable
•Have to be prepared to demonstrate value and have plan for how the service will be able to be delivered
• Examples: Ohio (covered later in detail), Tennessee
![Page 46: Anticipating the Future: Trends to Look for in Pharmacy Krystalyn Weaver, PharmD Director, Policy and State Relations National Alliance of State Pharmacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649e595503460f94b539ec/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
