PCORI

CAPPRE has received a PCORI award for the project ‘Transforming Pharmacy Practice Advancements into Patient-Centered CER’

Blue Cross:

A separate contract amendment (Pharmacist in Clinical Setting Amendment…) needs to be completed for each TIN used by a pharmacist for billing purposes. For example, if a single pharmacist will be providing services at two distinct clinics, each with their own TIN, an amendment needs to be completed for each clinic/TIN. Two clinics using the same TIN will require just one amendment.
A credentialing application AND provider information sheet needs to be completed for each pharmacist.
