[NP-Clinical] 2 questions

[Cherie Wright]

You should also check with the state board. Here in Virginia, NPs cannot
dispense medication.  In fact, the MDs only gained this privilege a few
years ago. The definition of dispensing is actually filling an Rx, so we can
prescribe, give samples, administer meds, etc, but cannot "fill" an Rx.

I can take a stab at #1, but only as a guess.  Did the company give you
details?  The only thing I can think of is having your own mini-pharmacy on
site where you may get a cut?
  I work at a federally funded community health center and we have many
stock drugs that we give the pt and it saves them lots of money.  I don't
know about all the things we have but a few examples are prednisone tabs,
ampicillin and rocephin injection. The rest is samples so that's all I can
offer.  Please let us know what you find out.

Hi All,

I have 2 questions, the first I asked earlier but got no respopnse, so maybe

everyone is as lacking in knowledge on it as I am!

1) Have ay of you seen/heard of Point of Care Pharmaceutical Dispensing?  I 
have been approached by a company re: this and would like to talk to someone

who has seen it or heard of it before I respond to them

2)  Does anyone know how to document/bill for the following codes:
       95251    Continuous glucose monitoring
       98960-98962     Pt education and training
       99091    Collection and interpretation of physiologic data

Thanks in advance for any help on this

Lynn W
