The State of Georgia has a Pharmacy Problem and Identity Technologies Fighting Fraud | TWIRx
On 'This Week in Pharmacy' we're blowing the doors off the story in Georgia how Owners of independent pharmacies are criticizing Governor Brian Kemp’s decision this week to veto legislation aimed at rectifying a situation that has left them at a competitive disadvantage with pharmacy chains.
We're also talking about Identification Technologies driven by A.I., by Alitheon, with a huge impact to the world of counterfeit medications.
Independent Pharmacy Owners in Georgia take another blow to the face as their businesses and PublicHealth Services to their communities are threatened by the latest decisions on Senate Bill 198.
Owners of independent pharmacies in Georgia are criticizing Gov. Office of Governor Brian P. Kemp ’s decision this week to veto legislation aimed at rectifying a situation that has left them at a competitive disadvantage with pharmacy chains.
Senate Bill 198, which the state House and Senate passed with only one “no” vote, would have required the State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) covering teachers and state employees to reimburse independent pharmacies filling prescriptions at rates no less than the average reimbursement provided to chain pharmacies.
Full article here:
https://lnkd.in/epQsshEB
This is State Representative Buddy Carter's home state and as a pharmacy owner, I am sure he's in disagreement with this decision which will exacerbate the problems our Georgia State Independent pharmacies are facing, causing many to face financial problems and some pharmacies will be forced to close.
To add to this story, PPN was informed that the President of the Georgia Pharmacy Association Mr. Joe Ed Holt was fired from PruittHealth for publicly disagreeing with the decisions of Georgia State Governor Kemp vetoing SB198 which makes reimbursement for Independent Community Pharmacies unfair compared to mail order and chains??
"Fraudulent and unidentified goods infiltrate nearly every industry, damaging businesses, economies and livelihoods, as well as risking public health and safety," said Roei Ganzarski, CEO of Alitheon. "TIME's recognition of FeaturePrint as a leading invention puts this growing problem in the spotlight, where it should be."
Alitheon's FeaturePrint enables you to trace and authenticate any individual items wherever they go and along the way, including medications. On the assembly line or in the marketplace, track and trace the one in the millions and know with certainty, that they are not being swapped, changed, or faked along the way.
