Requires a weekly update of the prescription drug retail price list
This bill requires New York's Department of Health to maintain a public online database showing pharmacy prices for the 150 most commonly prescribed drugs. Pharmacies participating in the state's medical assistance program must submit their actual retail prices for these drugs weekly through existing data systems or electronically if needed. The database must update prices at least once a week, providing consumers with current, transparent pricing information for common medications. This directly affects participating pharmacies and benefits consumers by making prescription drug costs more visible.
