The Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services is encouraging pharmacies to extend the scope of dispensing medications to foster immediate access to certain drugs.  
A special bulletin has been designed that aims to expand the services pharmacies offer and how to contend with national public health challenges.
However, pharmacies are not required to use the new bulletin to maintain Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements.
