APA WF# 24-20 Pharmacists as Providers
These rule changes are currently approved as Emergency Rules and must be promulgated as Permanent Rules.
These policy revisions establish coverage and reimbursement guidelines for pharmacists’ services. House Bill 2322 from the 2022 legislative session directed the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to reimburse pharmacists for services within their scope of practice at the same rate paid to other providers for provision of the same services. Policy changes are necessary to establish the reimbursement methodology for pharmacists' services utilizing the physicians' fee schedule and describe provider requirements for pharmacists. At this time, covered pharmacists’ services are limited to covered medical services within the statutory scope of practice of pharmacists. If scope of practice is expanded by the Board of Pharmacy, additional services will be reimbursable.
