NASP Response to PCMA Comments Regarding DIR Fees

Published by Specialty Pharmacy Times:

“On behalf of NASP, I am writing to correct some misperceptions noted in the Specialty Pharmacy Times article citing the views of PCMA President and CEO Mark Merritt on Direct and Indirect Remuneration Fees. It is inaccurate to state that DIR Fees “don’t harm the health industry in any way; They only help it.” Unfortunately DIR Fees do harm the health industry, particularly as it relates to the negative impact on specialty pharmacy providers.”
