Sawyer County HHS adopts revised 2025 fee schedule

The Sawyer County Health and Human Services committee approved a resolution adopting a revised 2025 fee schedule at its April 8 meeting.

Committee members said the update clarifies pricing and uses plainer language for consumers, and consolidates several antibiotics under a special-pricing category labeled "non $3.40 b." The resolution was introduced, moved and seconded and the committee voted to approve it.

The department said the edits are primarily minor adjustments and language changes intended to make fees easier for consumers to understand. One specific change noted in the packet and discussed at the meeting was grouping multiple antibiotics into a single special-pricing line item so it is clear those drugs may be ordered under the county's special pricing process.

The committee carried the motion and took no further fiscal action on the item during the meeting; members noted they would remember to sign the resolution after the vote.

The vote to adopt the fee schedule was recorded as carried during the meeting; no roll-call vote tally or named vote record was provided in the transcript.
