Celebrated TX Pharmacy Closes Over Reduced Medicaid Compensation
So expanding the program should really help matters
A South Texas pharmacy featured in a Texas Tribune article on independent pharmacists struggling to adapt to lower Medicaid reimbursement rates will shut its doors on Friday.
John P. Calvillo, president of the Rio Grande Valley Independent Pharmacy Association, announced Monday he would close Med-Aid Pharmacy in Mission, which he has owned and operated for seven years, as a result of the lower reimbursement rates produced by the state's expansion of Medicaid managed care.
