NCPA is suing the government to end DIR fees. Doing so has been our top priority since 2014. We tried every year of the outgoing administration to persuade the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt new rules to remedy the problem. That effort nearly succeeded in 2019, only to have it die because of opposition from the White House.
Having exhausted every effort to work through the legislative and regulatory processes, community pharmacies can wait no longer. This one hour documentary helps address vaccine concerns by explaining why vaccines are safe, crucial to community health and save millions of lives annually. Your local independent pharmacists are your most accessible healthcare professionals and take the time to truly connect and consult with each patient they serve.

Report
I was an independent pharmacy owner and paid membership to NCPA which I thought was an organization to support and lobby for independents. I am sure that 99.9% of its members do not know that NCPA owns Surescripts with the Independents archrival CVS!!! Doctors do not pay for the use of Surescripts they actually GET PAID for each e-script while the pharmacies are charged per e-script!! If NCPA is so pro-independent pharmacy then why are we not getting paid? We are the ones filling the prescriptions and under-reimbursed by NCPA's PBM buddies!
