Pharmacists Exempted From Being Licensed to

Fit Diabetic Shoes in Arkansas

Pharmacists have been receiving letters from the Arkansas Department of Health asking them to submit a check for $300 to obtain a grandfathered license allowing them to be able to fit diabetic shoes.  Please note that pharmacists are exempted from having to obtain a license to fit diabetic shoes in Arkansas and you do not have to pay $300 to continue to fit diabetic shoes.  These letters were sent to pharmacists by mistake.

Last Days to Complete Mirixa MTM Cases

Deadline – Wednesday October 31st

All MTM cases through Mirixa (formerly known as Community MTM) must be fully completed, documented, and billed by October 31, 2007.  After this date, these cases will be removed from your Mirixa user profile.  Please note that these cases are NOT being reassigned to other pharmacies NOR will they be completed by the University of Arizona call center.  The patient will simply get a letter stating that they will not be able to receive MTM for the 2007 benefit year.

It is vital that you schedule, administer, document, and bill all of your MTM cases by Wednesday, October 31, 2007!  Over 2000 MTM cases worth over $125,000 in reimbursement are still available for pharmacists that complete their cases.  Don’t let this opportunity to get paid for providing MTM services pass you by.

APA has a list of pharmacists who are willing to assist you in completing your MTM cases.  If you would like someone to work with you to complete your MTM cases, please call Scott Pace at the APA at 501-372-5250.
