Pharmacy fee guideline

Pharmacy Fee Guideline

28 Texas Administative Code (TAC) §134.503, Pharmacy Fee Guideline applies to reimbursement of prescription drugs and nonprescription drugs or over-the-counter medications as defined in §134.500 (relating to Definitions) for outpatient use in the Texas workers' compensation system, which includes:

  1. network claims;
  2. non-network claims; and
  3. certain government employee workers’ compensation claims (Labor Code §504.053(b)(2).

Note: The pharmacy fee guideline does not apply to parenteral drugs. Parenteral drugs are reimbursed using the methodology in the Medical Fee Guideline for Professional Services [28 TAC, §134.203(d)] for non-network claims, or by a workers’ compensation network contract for network claims.

28 TAC Chapter 133 General Medical Provisions, Subchapter B Health Care Provider Billing Procedures applies to pharmacy bill submission. 

If billing on paper, use the Statement of Pharmacy Services (DWC066).
