Proposed prescription drug fee causes debate

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:41:41 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The state has proposed pharmacies receive a fee for filling prescriptions. The Department of Financial Services said the changes would create protections for consumers and small business owners while increasing supervision over one of the most unregulated sectors of the healthcare industry. Those opposed said it creates unnecessary additional costs.Zarina Jalal is the supervising pharmacist at Lincoln Pharmacy, which her family owns, and she welcomes the proposed $10.18 fee that would be paid by Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to pharmacies.“Using ‘new’ to describe this dispensing fee is not actually accurate. There’s always been a dispensing fee for the services that a pharmacy provides,” said Jalal.She said the dispensing fee has always been rolled into the prescription drug costs but what’s new is the proposed regulation would set a baseline minimum of $10.18 that would need to be paid by PBM’s.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:41:41 GMT

ST. LOUIS – Federal agents in the FBI St. Louis Office say they’ve disrupted a scheme that North Korea has been using to raise money for its ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs.“North Korea has been making IT workers available by obfuscating their identities and then having American companies hire them, with the vast majority of those wages not going to the workers but instead to fund these programs,” said Jay Greenberg, FBI St. Louis Division Special Agent in Charge.The FBI has seized a number of domains that were being used as part of the scheme. Now, a splash screen is on display instead.Authorities also seized $1.5 million in funds.“More likely or not, if you are hiring IT workers for mobile application development or specific software development at point of need and don’t have a robust process to ensure who they are, more than likely you might have some of these North Korean IT workers on your contractor payroll,” Greenberg said.

Alexa Bartell, 20 (Provided by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department)It’s still not clear which of the three men charged in a fatal Denver-area rock-throwing spree last spring is responsible for hurling the objects in each incident, but prosecutors argued in court Wednesday that all three were complicit in Alexa Bartell’s murder and the attempted murder of six other drivers.Defense attorneys for Joseph Koenig, 19, Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik, 18, and Zachary Kwak, 18, challenged prosecutors’ evidence during a preliminary hearing Wednesday, but First Judicial District Judge Christopher Zenisek ruled the prosecution had enough evidence to proceed to trial on all counts.Prosecutors said the three young men each were complicit because there was “excitement” in the truck as they drove around the night of April 19 and the teens cheered after the rock hit Bartell’s vehicle, Jefferson County sheriff’s Detective Dan Manka testified, referencing...
