In response to the physician fee schedule proposed rule, NCPA submitted comments asking CMS to reduce barriers for pharmacists providing services including diabetes self-management training, continuous glucose monitoring, the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program, and annual wellness visits. NCPA also strongly recommended add-on payments for at-home administration of influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis B virus, and all vaccines recommended by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. NCPA also asked CMS to maintain $40 payment for COVID-19 vaccine administration following the PHE’s expiration.
