Medicare B Rx Reimbursements
I was wondering if anyone could provide more information on how much Medicare B reimburses pharmacies for filling prescriptions of diabetic testing supplies, nebulizer solutions, and insulin for pumps. I have worked for a chain pharmacy for years filling these Rxs and just happened upon this article from 2013:

Inpatient FM services, what's your census like?
In terms of total size and patients per patient along with patient complexity.
We usually run 7-9 patients per intern here. Good number of zebras hit our census. Patient complexity is high and things like insulin drips, amio, etc we have on a daily basis.
Curious what other programs are like in this regard. Not something I ever asked about on the interview trail. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

ASA status
Not the most important questions but I am curious as to what the community would give to these patients in terms of ASA score.
ESRD,
Diabetes type 1 insulin dependent
I'm curious about above because some people give ESRD an ASA 4 simply due to ESRD, because dialysis is life saving. But the diabetic type 1 patient gets an ASA 2 even though insulin is life saving. Both diseases cause significant consequences later on in life. What are your thoughts?
Otherwise healthy guy, bleeding cause he...

Insulin doses
When calculating insulin carb ratios, do you do
500 ÷ TDD = units of aspart (Novolog®) or lispro (Humalog®) per 1g of carbohydrate
or is it:
500 ÷ (0.5 x TDD)
Reason I am confused is because I thought you only give 50% of the TDD as bolus, the other 50% is the basal dose (e.g. Lantus).
Would be grateful if @Raryn could provide help (Source: Student Doctor Network)
