The change in the dispensing fee shall become effective following federal approval of the medicaid state plan.

(b) For purposes of this section, independent pharmacy means any pharmacy as defined in section 71-425 that owns six or fewer pharmacies.

(3) Any dispensing fee cost information submitted to the department as part of the cost-of-dispensing survey described in subsection (1) of this section that specifically identifies individual costs of a pharmacy or provider shall remain confidential.

(4) No later than December 15, 2024, the department shall electronically submit a report to the Clerk of the Legislature providing recommendations for adjusting pharmacy dispensing fees between completion of surveys to ensure fair and adequate reimbursement for independent pharmacies and all other pharmacies participating in the medical assistance program.
