California Board of Pharmacy weighs in on RxTEC proposal
| Henry Waxman, U.S. Congressman. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
SecuringPharma - California Board of Pharmacy weighs in on RxTEC proposal:
"The California Board of Pharmacy in the US has written an open letter to Representative Henry Waxman calling for a federal approach to pharmaceutical traceability that provides the same or greater protection to the public as its electronic pedigree system due to come into effect between 2015 and 2017.
The letter to Waxman - who serves as ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee - also takes a swipe at the Pharmaceutical Traceability Enhancement Code (RxTEC) system enshrined in the Securing Pharmaceutical Distribution Integrity Act of 2012, saying that it is a "less robust, and less secure, supply chain infrastructure.""

The Lakeland, Fla., facility will remain open and other operations will continue under the agreement with the Drug Enforcement Administration. Cardinal Health also intends to improve procedures that are designed to prevent prescription drugs from being abused.

Medicare billing flagged at 4 percent of U.S. pharmacies
The HHS report singled out several areas of the country where pharmacies irregularly billed Medicare with extremely high amounts per beneficiary. For instance, in Miami, nearly one in five pharmacies had questionable billings in 2009.
Medicare billing flagged at 4 percent of U.S. pharmacies: government | Reuters:
"The Office of Inspector General (OIG) examined billing records from 2009, the most recent full-year data was available. Government inspectors used eight measures to review the pharmacies, including average amount billed per beneficiary, average amount billed per prescriber and percentage of prescriptions for painkillers and other controlled substances that have the potential to be abused.
In total, 2,637 retail pharmacies were found to have exceeded the threshold that indicated extremely high billing for at least one of the eight measures."
