Pharmacist prescribers - Apple Health enrollment

Effective April 1, 2026, all prescribing providers must be enrolled with ProviderOne as an Apple Health provider. This includes any pharmacists who prescribe products within their scope of practice. While this requirement has been in effect for the fee-for-service program since 2014, starting in April this will apply to managed care organizations (MCOs).
