<p style="margin-right: 11.25pt; line-height: 13.5pt;">The Coalition for Community Pharmacy Action (CCPA) is sponsoring a national community pharmacy cost of dispensing study. CCPA is an alliance between NACDS and the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA). The Coalition has contracted with the MPI Group, an independent survey organization, to conduct this survey. The last study was conducted in 2006.</p>
<p style="margin-right: 11.25pt; line-height: 13.5pt;">Medicaid’s movement toward an acquisition cost system of reimbursement, and CMS’ public posting of a final National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) file, make the timing of this survey critical and <strong><em>we need your help</em></strong> in responding to the <a href="https://www.mpisecure.com/pharmacy/Login.asp">survey</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-right: 11.25pt; line-height: 13.5pt;">The questionnaire deadline has been extended to <strong>July 25, 2014</strong> using one of the following formats:</p>
