DME

Here is a news story out of Montana regarding the official signing of the DME accreditation delay. I addressed this bill in a couple previous postings as well as my upcoming newsletter.

"Tester argued that the accreditation process can be expensive and time consuming for community pharmacies that are often the only option for seniors in rural communities. He also argued that accreditation is redundant, as pharmacies are already subject to oversight and regulation as medical professionals and as state-licensed businesses."
