Advocating for Impact: Integrating Comprehensive Medication Management Through Legislation

This podcast will highlight a recently enacted North Dakota law requiring health plans to cover comprehensive medication management services provided by clinical pharmacists. The legislation, developed in collaboration with and supported by ASHP, will increase patients’ access to team-based services, better enabling pharmacists and clinicians to collaboratively optimize medication use and improve outcomes. Building on the success of the North Dakota bill, ASHP has drafted model legislation that other states can adopt to ensure patients have access to CMM services.   The information presented during the podcast reflects solely the opinions of the presenter.
