relative to Medicaid pharmaceutical services and relative to standing orders for Ivermectin.

SB 119 allows New Hampshire pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin without an individual prescription under specific written orders ("standing orders") from doctors, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants. These standing orders must include patient screening protocols, documentation requirements, and plans for handling adverse effects, but cannot be used for pregnant patients or those under 18. Pharmacists must provide patients with plain-language information about Ivermectin's risks, approved uses, and follow-up care. The bill also protects healthcare providers from disciplinary action if pharmacists properly follow these standing orders. It becomes effective July 1, 2025.
