The Ohio Pharmacists Association, in cooperation with the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants, has been successful in getting a total of $50 million in Ohio's 2022-2023 state budget to be distributed to community pharmacies as an enhanced Medicaid dispensing fee for managed care. The budget currently contains $15 million from the state, along with an additional $35 million of federal matching money. It is critical to contact your Ohio Senator and State Representative, and thank them for putting this essential funding into the budget.
