Pharmacy Manual Pharmacists as Providers Supplement Update

Download PDF Download PDF
Memo
Effective Date:

To:
All prescribing Providers, Pharmacists and Managed Care Organizations Participating in the Virginia Medical Assistance Program
From:
Cheryl J. Roberts, Director Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS)

The purpose of this memo is to inform providers that the DMAS Pharmacy Manual PAP Supplement has been updated to reflect additional billing codes for the pharmacist provider type. These additional codes allow for the billing of CLIA waivered tests that would be administered pursuant to Virginia Board of Pharmacy Protocols(https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/Boards/Pharmacy/PractitionerResources/StatewideProtocols/).

Directive to reimburse for these services is secondary to the passing of SB 1538 (https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=sb1538 ) in the 2023 Session of the Virginia General Assembly.
