An Act ensuring access to specialty medications

This bill establishes licensing requirements for specialty pharmacies in Massachusetts that dispense specialty medications. It requires these pharmacies to designate a registered pharmacist in charge who must maintain good standing with their licensing board, submit annual reports, and keep detailed records of all drugs dispensed. The law also prohibits out-of-state pharmacies from dispensing specialty medications in Massachusetts without obtaining a specialty license. Additionally, it mandates that insurance carriers cannot block access to specialty drugs dispensed by licensed pharmacies that meet required handling and monitoring standards.
