Bill Summary

For legislation to establish a pilot program for specialty pharmacy in urology. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a four-year pilot program for specialty pharmacy within urology practices in Massachusetts. The program will allow privately-owned urology practices with more than five doctors and three office locations in the state to apply for a certificate to operate a specialty pharmacy within their practice, subject to review and guidance from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy. The specialty pharmacy will be limited to dispensing specific medications related to urology and will not be permitted to dispense opioids. The bill outlines the application process, the required qualifications, and the regulations that will apply to these specialty pharmacies. At the end of the four-year pilot, the Department of Public Health and the Board of Pharmacy will submit a report to the legislature on the merits of the program and a recommendation on whether to extend it for an additional four years.
