HB 1852 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to pharmacists' authority to dispense insulin

HB 1852 (Missouri House Bill 1852) modifies pharmacy law to explicitly allow pharmacists to dispense an emergency supply of insulin without a new prescription. This provision directly affects patients facing urgent insulin shortages and pharmacists who can now provide this emergency service under new rules. The key mechanism establishes that pharmacists may dispense an emergency insulin supply under Section 338.740, addressing immediate access needs when a patient cannot obtain a new prescription promptly. The bill does not change routine insulin dispensing but creates a specific emergency protocol for pharmacists.
