Pharmacists can get NPI numbers... so technically they are providers. 😉
I have an NPI number. 😱
Have you ever used it to bill for services?
No I only did it to show others how to do it. also i havent been a practitioner at a site for the past 5 years.....but now i am. so im going to try at our oncology clinic.
Have you?
I've used my NPI. It's been awhile though.
No, but I have registered with some MTM service provider so maybe I will... I don't think retail is the right place to implement MTM, though, as much as they are starting to push it now. You can't cut tech hours and at the same time expect pharmacists to take on more MTM responsibilities. Something's gotta give, and vast majority of pharmacists will choose the path of the least resistance.
anyone know of any practice settings or individual pharmacist providers who successfully bill for services? would love to be schooled on this topic.
Lots of pharmacists bill for MTM services. Whether you break even or profit is another story for another thread.

And that's not counting billing the actual CPT codes for MTM.

Sorry WVU, it's not like the coal mines of home.🙁
cool stuff
i'd been reading some old articles in PL from 4 or 5 years ago about status of reimbursement for cognitive services, so i was curious about where things stood in 2012. i just might have to start looking for some more recent articles 🙂
Most influential and successful pharmacist currently practicing?
Bill Evens. Look his record up. Literally one of the first to use pharmacogenetics to identify a pediatric oncology treatment that dropped the mortality rate from something like 85% to 10% for that indication (don't hold me on the numbers). Now the CEO or President of St. Judes Hospital, an organization that brings in and uses grant/donation money to pay for childrens therapy if the families can't afford the treatment.

Rear Admiral Scott F. Giberson, RPh, PhC, MPH
I had the great opportunity to hear him speak at our school. It was an amazing presentation. His analogy of pharmacists being ships in a harbor was spot on. Ships may be safest in the harbor, but that's not ships are built for! So much more our profession could be doing to benefit patients, other providers, and the public in general. Shoot, even the US Surgeon General agrees with him!

Damn, you beat me to him. I was gonna post about him. I've personally met Rear Admiral Giberson at Officer Basic Course and took my picture with him and other other pharmacy officers. He really is an inspiration.
I'd put Tom Ryan in the Top 10.
