NCPA endorses House bill on Part D plan pharmacy choice
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The National Community Pharmacists Association on Thursday offered its backing to legislation aimed at improving pharmacy access for seniors with Medicare Part D drug plans.
The Ensuring Seniors Access to Local Pharmacies Act was introduced by Reps. Morgan Griffith, R-Va., and Peter Welch, D-Vt., and would allow pharmacies in medically underserved areas to participate in preferred pharmacy networks under Medicare Part D if they accept the in-network providers’ terms and conditions.
