Bill Summary
Relative to a specialty pharmacy pilot program for urology. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a four-year pilot program that allows a privately owned urology practice with more than five doctors and three office locations in Massachusetts to operate a specialty pharmacy within their practice location. The specialty pharmacy will be limited to dispensing certain pharmaceuticals related to urology and will not be permitted to dispense opioids. The bill requires the practice to employ at least one pharmacy technician and one supervising pharmacist, and the Board of Registration of Pharmacy will oversee the program and determine which regulations apply to the specialty pharmacy. After the four-year pilot, the Department of Public Health and the Board of Pharmacy will submit a report to the state legislature on the merits of the program and a recommendation for whether to continue it for an additional four years.
