Title

Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Program urged to adopt State Employees' Health Insurance Plan pharmacy-led medication management approach

Summary

A Senate resolution urging the Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Program to adopt the State Employees' Health Insurance Plan's pharmacy-led medication management approach and stop changes that disrupt pharmacist-patient relationships.

What This Bill Does

The bill asks the PEEHIP Board to use SEHIP’s pharmacy-led medication management approach to manage medications for plan participants. It argues that this approach improves health outcomes and can save money by reducing hospital stays, emergency visits, and missed work. It also contends that PEEHIP’s planned changes would disrupt trusted pharmacist-patient relationships and harm communities, whereas SEHIP supports these relationships to achieve cost containment.

Who It Affects

• Public education employees enrolled in PEEHIP (and their pharmacists) would be affected by a shift to SEHIP’s pharmacy-led medication management approach and any related changes to the plan.
• Alabama community pharmacies and the broader communities they serve would be affected by changes in plan management philosophy, potentially benefiting from preserved pharmacist-patient relationships and economic stability.

Key Provisions

• Urges the PEEHIP Board to adopt the SEHIP pharmacy-led medication management approach.
• Urges abandoning PEEHIP plan changes that disrupt the pharmacy-patient relationship and threaten Alabama communities.
