- Title
- Pharmacy benefit managers, prohibited from restricting pharmacies and pharmacists from disclosing costs information to patients on alternative drugs or other services and costs, enforcement by Insurance Commissioner, audits further regulated including penalties and assessments against pharmacist, Sec. 34-23-184 am'd.
- Description
Under existing law, pharmacy benefit managers are neither authorized nor prohibited from preventing a pharmacy or pharmacist from disclosing information on the amount an individual would pay for a prescription drug if he or she does not have an insurance plan, benefits, discounts, or if the individual paid for the prescription without using their pharmacy benefits. This bill would prohibit pharmacy benefit managers from prohibiting pharmacies and pharmacists from providing this information.
This bill would further provide auditing procedures for pharmacy records and would limit recoupment for certain errors by pharmacy.
