Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features an upcoming webinar from WCRI on physician-dispensing, which has gained attention as a rapidly growing cost driver in states all across the country, and as of September, 14 states in the U.S. have changed reimbursement rules to reduce its associated costs.
The webinar will cover the results of studies on the prevalence, costs, and recent growth of physician dispensing in Maryland and Pennsylvania, where changes have been debated, but not made, as well as a study on the effects of recent reforms on the frequency and costs of physician-dispensed prescriptions in Georgia. The webinar will also examine the price differentials between drugs dispensed by physicians vs. pharmacies.
