But, How Many Small Suppliers Were Pharmacists?

In announcing the first round of competitive bidding winners, CMS SAYS it ensured that small suppliers had the opportunity to participate in the competitive bidding program.

More than 6,300 bids were received from hundreds of suppliers. Sixty-four percent of winning bidders are "small" suppliers. How many pharmacists were winning bidders? I don’t know, but I’m going to do my best to find out!
