An Act Regarding Mail Order Delivery Of Prescription Drugs

This bill requires pharmacy benefits managers to allow covered individuals to pick up their prescriptions at a network pharmacy if a mail order pharmacy delays delivery by more than one day or sends the medication in unusable condition. It directly affects people enrolled in health plans that use mail order pharmacies and the pharmacy benefits managers who administer those plans. The law ensures continued access to necessary medications by providing an alternative dispensing option when mail order services fail to meet expected delivery standards or provide damaged products. This change aims to prevent treatment interruptions caused by mail order pharmacy issues without mandating specific delivery timelines for the pharmacies themselves.
