Pharmacists in a growing number of states have the authority to order labs, administer a point-of-care test, and initiate or modify drug therapy – either in their scope of practice or under a collaborative practice agreement. Come learn what success looks like for a pharmacy that submits claims to patients’ medical insurance for documenting patient evaluations and treatment plans for HIV PrEP and PEP and immunizations.

Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technician Learning Objectives:

1. Compare and contrast health plan medical benefits and prescription benefits.
2. Discuss the significance of the following terms: provider status, pharmacy payment parity, and provider credentialing.
3. Assess the suitability of your practice site for one or more clinical services that could be reimbursed by a patient’s medical benefit.
