WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE IAPS 2007 ANNUAL DINNER & DANCE PARTY ON MAY 19, 2007 SATURDAY

Patients may receive a 72 hour emergency supply for non-preferred drugs if pharmacist deems it is an emergency. The pharmacist needs to call First Health at 877-309-9493, select option 3 for technical assistance. The prescription is cancelled and will require a new RX from the prescriber

Pharmacists are expected to attempt to bill Part D plans for the four categories of drugs covered under the limited wrap around benefit (atypical anti-psychotics, antidepressants, anti-retrovirals used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, anti-rejection drugs used in the treatment of tissue and organ transplants). If coverage by a Part D plan is not provided, the pharmacist may dispense the medication to the recipient and submit a claim to Medicaid. If the drug is covered under Medicare Part B, and the recipient is eligible for coverage, the pharmacist is required to seek coverage under that payor prior to billing.

Adverse Event Reporting Mandated for Supplements, OTCs
Manufacturers, packers, and distributors will have 15 days to notify FDA of serious harm associated with use of their products; requirements take effect next December.
Just before Congress went out of session last weekend, the Senate passed legislation that will require companies that make and distribute dietary supplements and OTC drugs to inform federal authorities about serious adverse events among users of their products. The Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act (S. 3546) would also require the manufacturer, packer, or distributor whose name appears on a product’s label to include its address or phone number on the label.
