The first testing ground for use of the Pharmacist electronic Care Plan as a means to adjudicate and reimburse for services was implemented as part of the Health Care Innovation Award Round 2 program.   Community pharmacies in North Carolina were paid based on their submission of electronic care plans.   Those transactions were checked for quality and edited, akin to the same process that occurs when transacting claims for pharmacy reimbursement for medications.  Over 30,000 care plans were sent electronically and adjudicated for payment.
