In California , Pharmacists are now recognized as health care providers. Pharmacists for the most part still can't bill insurance for the services they provide-including often life-saving consultations to ensure patients are taking their medication properly and without risky results. About, 15% of older adults who visit hospitals, doctor's offices, or extended care facilities are having adverse drug events. These events could be avoided with regular consultations with a pharmacist. Some patients have to wait months to see their primary care providers. In the meantime, pharmacists are available and able to manage medications, and provide prevention and wellness.
