Support for NPA Members Impacted by the Nebraska Wildfires
To our NPA members, families, and pharmacy teams who are in or near the areas affected by the recent Nebraska wildfires, please know that the entire NPA community is thinking of you. We recognize the stress, uncertainty, and disruption these fires can cause for your practices, your patients, and your personal lives. If there is anything the NPA can do to support you, your pharmacy, or your community during this time, please let the NPA staff know. We are here to help and will share any needs or requests with the broader membership, so support can reach you quickly. Your safety and well-being remain our highest priority. To our members across the state, we ask that you keep your colleagues in your thoughts as they navigate these challenging circumstances.
Right to Refuse Flyers and Documentation Templates
NPA members who opened our March 17, 2026, Double Dose email received important legislative resources related to LB 198 implementation (a bill relating to the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Licensure and Regulation Act). As Nebraska enters the first year of the law, the NPA, along with P4 Student Member, Abby Quadhamer, developed Right to Refuse flyers and documentation templates to help pharmacists respond when PBM reimbursement falls below acquisition cost. These tools include: an educational flyer for patients and prescribers, and an easy-to-use template to document refused prescriptions. Be sure to review these resources and begin using them as needed. Accurate documentation now will be critical as NPA continues advocacy efforts and prepares for future legislative action.
Members who did not receive the March 17th Double Dose email, or who need help accessing these resources, may contact info@npharm.org. Non-members with questions about NPA membership and access to member communications are also encouraged to reach out.

Enroll with Nebraska Medicaid as a Tobacco Cessation Counselor
The NPA is proud to partner with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Tobacco Free program to support pharmacists in becoming Tobacco Cessation Counselors. This program provides funding to cover the cost of the CPE article Nicotine Cessation Counseling – A Guide for Pharmacists and the Quit for Good: Nicotine Cessation Counseling Toolkit.
This opportunity is available to pharmacists working at a licensed pharmacy who enroll with Nebraska Medicaid to provide tobacco cessation counseling. The pharmacy will receive the payment while the pharmacist enrolls as a provider. To enroll:
1. Complete the CPE article.
2. Follow the steps outlined in the toolkit to enroll as a provider with Nebraska Medicaid.
This detailed process requires time and commitment, but the NPA and experienced members who have completed it will be available to offer guidance and support. Spots Are Limited – Enroll Today!
