The pay in a hospital is generally less but the hours tend to be much better.Bob Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04566179882068307528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133434752101334071.post-78368612350845301932012-01-12T23:16:05.488-05:002012-01-12T23:16:05.488-05:00The APHA was the driving force behind us being pai...The APHA was the driving force behind us being paid a "professional fee" during the late 60's.. just as the PBM's were getting traction.<br />I don't think that that has worked so well for the profession...but .. that is just my opinion... If the APHA gets involved in this.. hopefully history will not repeat.Pharmaciststevehttp://healthblog.steveariens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133434752101334071.post-54724554856053838052012-01-10T22:00:19.787-05:002012-01-10T22:00:19.787-05:00You have hit the nail on the head.

Billing for calls to the insurance would be a dream come true. Either we get paid for wasting our valuable time or the patient, not wanting to pay/bill insurance would do it on their own. Either way is ok by me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133434752101334071.post-30538115879130276142012-01-10T17:32:23.673-05:002012-01-10T17:32:23.673-05:00I agree about the worlds being completely differen...I agree about the worlds being completely different. I never really knew there was a problem getting any Adderall of any sorts. It isn't something we use. However, my retail brethren probably are unaware of all the injectable shortages we are dealing with; morphine, valium, ativan, dilaudid, versed, and numerous chemos.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133434752101334071.post-8660131962449452932012-01-10T08:47:37.402-05:002012-01-10T08:47:37.402-05:00I enjoyed reading this post.

I agree that this topic is one that pharmacists could come together to support. <br /><br />There is little about day to day job that I have in common with colleagues in retail but this topic is something I think we all can agree on. I have worked both settings and I agree with you Eric, in hospital I feel my opinion is respected and in retail....<br /><br />I still do love the independent community pharmacy setting, although it has been awhile since I have worked in it.<br /><br />Glad to hear you are enjoying the new setting! Do you work for non-profit, profit, academic, specialty, federal or state hospital?SailaSeaofCheesenoreply@blogger.com
