An Act amending the act of June 2, 1915 (P.L.736, No.338), known as the Workers' Compensation Act, in liability and compensation, further providing for schedule of compensation.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Act to update how pharmacies are reimbursed for compounded and topical medications. It directly affects employers, employees, and pharmacies by setting specific payment rules for custom-made drugs and topical treatments. The key provisions establish a $20 fee per prescription for compounded drugs with a $400 maximum per month, while non-compounded topical drugs are capped at $240 per month plus a $10 dispensing fee. The bill also clarifies definitions for compounded and topical drugs, noting that duplicates of commercially available medications are not reimbursable. These changes take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
