In this episode of Independent Insights, host Suzanne Feeney sits down with Josh Babb, Senior Director of Government Relations at McKesson, to unpack H.R. 3164, the Ensuring Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act (ECAPS). This bipartisan bill could be a game-changer for independent pharmacies, finally allowing Medicare Part B reimbursement for pharmacist-provided services in states where they’re already authorized to deliver care.

If you’re an independent pharmacist, this episode is a must-listen. You’ll hear real stories, understand the legislative landscape, and walk away with clear calls to action, from contacting your legislators to preparing your pharmacy for expanded services. ECAPS isn’t just about policy, it’s about people, access, and the future of pharmacy.
