Drug Allotment
Cut Not Severe
rts
: Jackson ' County welfare re
cipients, especially the 600 aged
ones, may become unduly
alarmed over statements from
druggists that they will not fill
welfare recipients' prescriptions,
Jackson County Welfare Ad
ministrator David Kuhns said
this morning. ..."
Kuhns was replying to state
ments by two Medford pharma
cists yesterday. They verified
reports from Portland that Ore
gon druggists are angered over
reduction in payments for pre
scriptions filled for' welfare re
cipients and may refuse to fill
presonpaonsivs v !a r,-'.:i i-1-:-;!-:-,' .".;.
:-Kuhns indicated in his state
ment that the cut in state wel
fare allotments for- druB - pre
scriptions is not as severe as it
may ; appear at first glance.
The 65 per cent pro rata pay
ment is the 'equivalent of ap
proximately 98 per cent of cost
plus 50 cents , per! - prescription,
Kuhns 'explained.. The' Jackson
County - Welfare Commission's
monthly r drug allotment is $1,-
472. . ... - ' . :;
Not' New System'; ' .,
"Pro-rating., or. paying costs
below retail charges is. not a
new system as hospitals, doc
tors, nursing homes, homes for
the aged, medical labs, funeral
homes and private landlords
have for several years either
pro-rated payments or reduced
fees,'.' Kuhns said.
Some druggists throughout
the state have said they will no
longer fill welfare prescriptions
because in November the state
welfare agency paid only . 65
per cent of the total billed on
each welfare prescription, Kuhns
noted. Tins percentage reduc
tion, which will . vary each
month, was triggered by a state
wide trend of drug costs exceed
ing the budget allotment. The
price ' the welfare department
will pay for life saving and pain
relieving drugs is, with a few
exceptions, based on wholesale
cost plus 50 cents mark-up, pius
85 cents per, prescription as a
professional tee, the local ad
ministrator explained.
"I hope the level of medical
payments can be increased be
cause the medical vendors nave
been put in the position of giv
ing services and then receiving
very low payment, as an
example, doctors have received
recently less than 50 per cent
payment. The fact still remains
welfare recipients have a high
incidence of illness and do need
essential drugs," the welfare
administrator said.
There are about 100 nursing
home patients whose drug needs
are of real concern to the wel
fare department. I only hope
some satisfactory plan can be
worked out state-wide," Kuhns
said.
