ABOUT THIS PODCAST
This episode explores why ASHP’s Council on Public Policy has taken a fresh approach to a longstanding question: how should pharmacists be reimbursed for cognitive services? Joining the conversation are the council’s secretary and a former member who is also a health-system leader. They break down the newly adopted Policy 2506, Payment Parity for Pharmacists’ Services, discuss what it aims to accomplish for practicing pharmacists, and examine the broader implications if progress is achieved. The episode unpacks why policy language matters, traces the evolution of ASHP’s stance on pharmacist payment parity, and explores how the new policy could help advance this critical issue.
