If this new bill goes through, what will be the implications for family medicine/GPs? Patients? Cost/access to care? Pharmacists have been lobbying long and hard for this for a while now. Will this affect nursing in any substantial way? These provider status services pharmacists do would be reimbursable under Medicare Part B if they are provided in medically underserved communities and consistent with state scope of practice laws according to ASPH.
"Among Tuesday’s winners were Representative Brett Guthrie (Republican-KY), who introduced the bill in the House of Representatives on March 11, 2014, and Representative Earl “Buddy” Carter (Republican-GA), who became the only pharmacist currently elected to Congress."
