Access to pharmacy services is determined by how far people live from a pharmacy. The threshold used to call a location underserved is that there is no pharmacy within ten miles. This ten-mile cutoff helps identify communities with limited direct access to pharmacist services and influences regulatory considerations tied to serving those areas. Distances like five miles would classify fewer places as underserved, while fifteen or twenty miles would cover a broader area and isn’t the standard definition used.
