Abstract

Recently, third-party payers have been closely scrutinizing compounded medications that are dispensed in hospital-based outpatient pharmacies. Insurance claims are being rejected for reasons that defy logic. Working with third-party payers and receiving reimbursement for compounded medications can be frustrating and complicated; however, simple measures can be taken to optimize reimbursement for the medications. This article discusses some of these simple measures.
