Soon, when you go to a drug store, pharmacists are going to be able to offer medical advice on the prescriptions you are taking. Congress passed a law last year, stating that the pharmacist can get paid to sit down and talk with you about your medical situation. CBSNews.com reports that Rite Aid is already offering this on an experimental basis. You pay $80 for the first visit and $20 for each one after. This is going to be part of the Medicare program in a few years, and it may be a routine part of our health insurance. The Mayo Clinic, one of the best medical facilities in the U.S., has used a different approach to medicine like this for years. For instance, if a patient has multiple medical conditions, doctors meet to talk about that patient. They actually come up with a unified medical approach and then move forward. Unfortunately, outside the Mayo Clinic, that’s really not done in U.S. medicine. Doctors don’t normally work together, so they don’t consider a broad picture. Using the pharmacist could shed some new light on a situation and help clarify or cure the issue.
