A news article was recently published on the
authorization procedures for compounded drugs in the 2016 Edition of the
Florida Workers' Compensation Health Care Provider Reimbursement Manual (HCPRM)
that went into effect on July 1, 2017.
The information contained in the article may have led to a
misunderstanding of the applicability of this new provision in the HCPRM. The HCPRM defines the dispensing of
compounded drugs, regardless of the cost of the compounded drugs, as a
specialty service under paragraph 440.13(3)(i), F.S. . For
