NCPA submitted formal comments on Alaska's proposed State Plan Amendment (SPA) to the Alaska Department of Health, which would significantly lower the cost of dispensing for most of the state’s community pharmacies. While recognizing the need for cost management, NCPA emphasized that the Alaska Department of Health must account for critical factors such as fair ingredient cost reimbursement and Alaska’s unique freight challenges. NCPA asked the department to withdraw the proposed SPA in its current form and engage in further evaluation to ensure the sustainability of local pharmacy services that Alaskans rely on.
