Pharmacists' utilization of this opportunity to bill Medicaid may impact our advocacy efforts for future payment of services. The Kentucky Pharmacists Association (KPhA) has created a survey to evaluate and better understand the needs of Kentucky Pharmacists so we can implement this service successfully.
We are requesting ALL pharmacists, in all practice settings, to take a few moments to complete this brief survey.
