Payment for legend drug and non‐legend drug (OTC) prescriptions are reimbursed at the lesser of the following:

1. AAC plus a reasonable dispensing fee
2. The Usual and Customary (UAC) price charged the general public
3. The Gross Amount Due (GAD), if provided

The total reimbursement amount is determined by adding $7.93 (the fixed component) to the ingredient cost and dividing the sum by 0.9804 (the variable component). An additional $0.15 is added if the pharmacy has been certified as providing free delivery service to people enrolled in Medicaid. The total reimbursement includes the dispensing fee. The calculated dispensing fee is determined by subtracting the total ingredient cost from the calculated total amount. Another $0.50 is added if the pharmacy dispenses a premium preferred generic.

Value	Component
$7.93	Fixed component
0.9804	Variable component
$0.15	Delivery incentive (based on provider file) applied to all legend claims after all calculations are complete. Note: 340B pharmacies do not receive delivery incentive.
$0.50	Premium Preferred Generic (PPG) incentive applied to all Medicaid PPG drugs after all calculations are complete. Note: Incentive does not apply to $0.00 total payment amount claims.

For example, if the total ingredient cost of a drug is $10.00, the pharmacy's total reimbursement is calculated in the following way:

• $10.00 plus $7.93 = $17.93
• $17.93 divided by 0.9804 = $18.28 
• Pharmacies with a delivery agreement add $0.15 = $18.43 (calculated total amount)
• $18.43 - $10.00 = $8.43 (calculated dispensing fee)
• Pharmacies dispensing a premium preferred generic drug add $0.50 = $18.93 (total reimbursement paid)

If the submitted UAC or GAD price for this item is less than the amount calculated above, the pharmacy will receive payment for the UAC or GAD price. Pharmacy providers should submit their true UAC price for all claims.

The total dispensing fee shall not exceed $200 per prescription.
