Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) learned more about provider status legislation–H.R. 592, the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act–during an NACDS RxIMPACT in-district activity, “Government in the Grocery,” hosted by Albertsons Companies in Golden, Colo. The pharmacy team educated the congressman about the NACDS-backed legislation, which would increase access to pharmacist-provided services to underserved Medicare beneficiaries, within pharmacists’ scope of practice. The legislation has been cosponsored by more than 65 percent of the House of Representatives and 45 percent of the Senate.
