The increase of claims made by doctors and pharmacists submitting reimbursement requests to insurance companies for compounded prescriptions has caught the attention of several large forces ("corporations, insurance companies and labor groups") that benefit more from cheaper wholesale than from individual tailored sales. The debate is over whether doctors and pharmacists are abusing the system of compounding drugs, increasing the price of prescriptions unreasonably, thus trying to siphon off money from the larger corporations.
The feeling expressed in this article is that this will be an issue faced by all states at a point near in the future regarding how prescriptions are dealt with at compounding pharmacies.
