Prohibits certain steering and marketing practices involving dispensing of prescription drugs and drug samples.
This bill prohibits drug manufacturers, pharmacies, wholesalers, and healthcare practitioners from using devices, kiosks, or machines to steer patients to specific pharmacies or restrict their pharmacy choice when dispensing prescriptions or drug samples. It requires explicit patient consent before transmitting personal health information to a preferred pharmacy and bans using patient data for marketing without authorization. Violations carry penalties of at least $100,000 for companies and $250 for practitioners per offense. The bill also aligns with federal privacy rules (HIPAA) by requiring disclosure of insurance charges related to data sharing and prohibiting the sale of patient medical information for promotional purposes.
