SB 99: Electronic transmission of prescriptions
Description
-
The bill stipulates that all electronic prescriptions are to be transmitted directly to a pharmacist or certified pharmacy technician at a licensed pharmacy of the patient’s choice with no intervening person having access to the prescription order (e.g., pharmacy benefit managers). Electronic prescriptions will be required to have no interference or limitations and have no program, platform, or device which presents advertising, instant messaging, pop-up messaging or any other attempt to influence prescribing decisions. Information on formularies may be presented through any e-prescribing program provided that all outpatient drugs and pharmacies (in and out of network) available are readily disclosed and an appropriate authorization process be offered for approval of exceptions to plan formularies.
