Are pharmacies forbidden from adding their own "dispensing" fees? Why does the state need to mandate it and why that odd dollar amount?
If it’s processed through insurance we cannot charge any more or any less for that prescription. That $10 number has always been the general rule for the cost to fill a prescription.
I use a small independent pharmacy. I also pay for my prescriptions with cash. I don’t have insurance coverage. If this happens it’s going to force me to use either a mail order pharmacy OR I’ll travel the 10 miles to Florida and get my prescriptions there.
This doesn’t change anything with our cash-paying patients.
