Because the Covered Outpatient Drugs Final Rule impacted current covered outpatient drug reimbursement policy, including dispensing fee reimbursement, ForwardHealth contracted with a health care consulting firm, Mercer, to conduct the Professional Dispensing Fee survey in June 2016. The survey was used to obtain necessary information on the costs associated with dispensing covered outpatient drugs to ForwardHealth members.

Refer to the March 2017 ForwardHealth Update (2017-07), titled "Changes to Billing and Reimbursement Policy for Covered Outpatient Drugs," with the billing and drug reimbursement policies effective April 1, 2017.
