Rosehill Cemetery installs monument for cremains<\/strong>
A granite monument has been installed at the new scatter garden in Rose Hill Cemetery, 1100 W. 4th St. Only installation of decorative fencing remains to complete the scatter garden project and for the area to be opened for people to lay to rest the cremains of their loved ones. Fees for the use of the scatter garden will apply. The scatter garden will be officially opened later this summer following a ribbon-cutting ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana Department of Insurance\u00a0requires pharmacy benefit managers to obtain license<\/strong>
Indianapolis \u2013\u00a0The Indiana application for Pharmacy Benefit Managers is now live and all Pharmacy Benefit Managers must now apply for licensure. Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are third party companies that offer pharmacy benefit management services and function as intermediaries between health plans and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The link to the application can be found at\u00a0www.sircon.com\/indiana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, Indiana passed SEA 241 (IC 27-1-24.5) requiring PBMs to obtain a license issued by the Indiana Department of Insurance (IDOI). The act gives the IDOI commissioner the authority to adopt rules to set forth provisions for licensure and financial requirements, application and renewal fees, pharmacy claims audits, maximum allowable cost pricing, annual reporting, and penalties for violations for PBMs. Indiana Administrative Code Title 760, Article 5: Pharmacy Benefit Manager Standards became effective March 22, 2023, and includes the requirements for licensure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PBMs organized in the State of Indiana need to apply by clicking on \u201cApply for a License\u201d in the portal, then \u201cNew Insurance Licenses\u201d. PBMs organized outside the State of Indiana should apply through \u201cOther Licenses\u201d. Additional information is available on the IDOI website, including specific items that must be attached to a PBM\u2019s application and also a PBM Compliance Checklist.
