Bill > A03048

This bill expands the collaborative drug therapy management program in New York to include nurse practitioners as providers, in addition to physicians. It also makes the authorization for pharmacists to perform such collaborative drug therapy management permanent, rather than having it expire. The bill defines key terms like "collaborative drug therapy management," "facility," and "physician or nurse practitioner," and outlines the requirements for pharmacists to participate in the program, including certain educational and experience credentials. The bill maintains that participation in the program is voluntary for patients, pharmacists, physicians, and nurse practitioners.
