Commencing in July, 1986, and every second July thereafter, the department of job and family services shall initiate a private survey of retail pharmacy operations in the state as the basis for establishing a current maximum dispensing fee for licensed pharmacists who are providers of drugs under this chapter. The survey shall be conducted in conformance with the requirements set forth in 42 C.F.R. 447.331 through 447.333, as amended or superseded, and shall include operational data and direct prescription expenses, professional services and personnel costs, usual and customary overhead expenses, and profit data of the retail pharmacies surveyed. The survey shall be completed and its results published no later than the last day of October of the year in which the survey is conducted, and the survey shall compute and report dispensing fees on a basis of the usual and customary charges by retail pharmacies to their customers for dispensing drugs. The director of job and family services shall take into account the results of the survey in establishing a dispensing fee.
