Don't wait til you get an abscess to get your oral surgery done. You lose bone and it's harder to treat/more uncomfortable. Also, why spend $$$$ when you can spend $ instead on oral surgery. Not free, but we keep our fees lower on average.

We are an Oral Surgery Office in Ithaca, NY that provides quality oral surgery at affordable fees. Teamsters, Guardian, Metlife are in par with us. Replace missing teeth with dental implants!

We will be dropping Metlife very soon but will be treating those who are already underway treatment for the next 3 months. Talk to our front desk about this. Our fees are still very reasonable. There is Care Credit available also.

Read this article please if you smoke ma*****na regularly/daily. Getting numbed up with local anesthesia, including epinephrine can raise your risk for a serious problem if you smoke ma*****na daily, especially right before dental surgery!

NADAC Changes and Reimbursement Impacts

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently made changes to the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC), which is used in drug reimbursement, primarily in Medicaid. This change has raised concerns regarding the negative effect on reimbursements for a wide selection of generic drugs.

For context, NADAC is designed to create a national benchmark that is reflective of the prices paid by retail community pharmacies to acquire prescription and over-the-counter covered outpatient drugs. NADAC is a reimbursement benchmark in some Medicaid and Commercial agreements with PBMs, a decline in NADAC may result in lower reimbursement to pharmacies.

McKesson is acutely aware of the impact that this could have on MID pharmacies, and we are actively monitoring the situation. In addition, we are engaging with industry partners, such as the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) and National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), on how best to support you due to these changes. We are also working to understand the long-term implications of NADAC changes since the number of pharmacy reimbursement contracts that rely on NADAC continues to grow.

We will continue to advocate on your behalf and as the situation unfolds, and we will share what we know to help cut through the complexity of this issue. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
Heather Morel, PhD
