Section 13-O. Pharmaceutical fee schedule  


Latest version.
  • The  chair  shall  adopt  a
      pharmaceutical fee schedule which shall establish maximum allowable fees
      for prescription  medicines  provided  pursuant  to  this  chapter.  The
      schedule  shall  include  a  single  dispensing  fee. Nothing in the fee
      schedule shall  preclude  mail  order  supply  of  scheduled  medicines,
      provided that the fees for such mail ordered medicines do not exceed the
      costs provided by such fee schedule. Any pharmacy providing prescription
      medicines  shall  provide  the  generic  drug  equivalent,  if a generic
      equivalent is available, unless the prescribing  physician  specifically
      provides  otherwise by prescription. The fee schedule may be modified on
      each succeeding April first, provided, however, that usual and customary
      fees may be charged for drugs that are not included  in  a  then-current
      fee schedule, but are approved for use by the chair.
