[NFBofAlaska] ACBVI and NFB of Alaska - Important Information

[Carole Anderson]

CB, Kevin and Bonnie: 

I read this ADN article today and thought it may be very important for ACBVI Clients and NFB Alaska Chapter members to be aware of and prepared for in advance, 
that there is an imminent change underway in terms of Pharmacy services at Fred Meyers throughout the state of Alaska, beginning January 1, 2023. 

Please share this article: 

Many Alaskans may no longer be able to send their prescriptions to ... 
Anchorage Daily News 
Kroger Family Medicine owns 13 Fred Meyer pharmacies around Alaska, or just about 8% of all pharmacies around the state.

As mentioned in the article, if a prescription is picked up at Fred's after January 1: 

"First, they would be quoted the cash price for their medication....Then they are going to have to pay that full price up front." Reimbursement may follow from one's insurance agency. 




I sincerely hope this information is helpful. 

Best Regards to All, 

Carole Anderson
