AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's laws governing pharmacy benefits and pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs). It prohibits PBMs from discriminating against 340B entities (healthcare providers that purchase discounted drugs through the federal 340B program) and from interfering with a patient's choice of pharmacy. The bill also requires PBMs to base coinsurance and deductibles on the allowed amount of the drug, and to establish a process for pharmacies to appeal reimbursement rates. Additionally, the bill requires covered entities to provide enrollees, their providers, or authorized third parties with real-time data on drug costs, benefits, and coverage, and prohibits the covered entities from restricting the sharing of this information.
