Community pharmacists can provide pharmaceutical services to the health maintenance organization (HMO) patient on a cost-effective, competitive basis. Reimbursement based on usual and customary fees has proven to be an attractive method of payment not only to the participating pharmacists, but to the HMO administration as well. State pharmaceutical associations can play an integral role in developing, administering, and monitoring the pharmaceutical component of an HMO. A sharing of the financial risk encourages pharmacists to act as prudent purchasers of the drug product to be dispensed to HMO patients.
社区药剂师可以在具有成本效益且具竞争力的基础上,为健康维护组织(HMO)的患者提供药学服务。事实证明,基于惯常和惯例费用的报销不仅对参与的药剂师,而且对HMO管理部门来说,都是一种有吸引力的支付方式。州药学协会在制定、管理和监督HMO的药学组成部分方面可以发挥不可或缺的作用。分担财务风险鼓励药剂师谨慎采购将配发给HMO患者的药品。
