Consultant Pharmacists should be regarded as Health Care Providers on All Health Insurance Forms

Consultant Pharmacists are very important to the healthcare arena. They are relied upon to solve complex and dangerous patient medication problems for Doctors, Nurses, Dietitians, insurance companies, etc. However, they are not listed on the health care forms as practitioners. In fact, they have the strongest chemistry educational background and have to utilize it daily to solve drug-drug or drug-food interactions. Pharmacists practicing in the Medication Therapy Management area are expected to spend countless hours solving problems patients are experiencing to save lives and improve treatment outcomes. Please help us to have this implemented, protect patient's lives over the long run, and obtain payment for these type of services.
