Medical assistance dispensing fee increased.

This bill increases the professional dispensing fee for pharmacies in Minnesota from $10.77 to $11.55 for specific prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The change applies to legend drugs, compounded intravenous solutions, and certain over-the-counter medications dispensed in quantities equal to or greater than the manufacturer's original package. The legislation also clarifies how payment rates are calculated based on drug costs, outlines rules for billing long-term care facilities, and sets standards for specialty pharmacy products.
