Bill Summary
AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE PHARMACISTS TO DISPENSE HIV PREEXPOSURE AND POSTEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes pharmacists in Arkansas to initiate therapy and dispense HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and HIV postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) under a statewide protocol. It requires pharmacists to complete training on the use of PrEP and PEP, not allow patients to waive consultation, and document the services provided in the patient's medical record. The bill also prohibits pharmacy benefit managers from restricting pharmacists from dispensing PrEP and PEP, and it prevents health insurers from requiring prior authorization or step therapy for antiretroviral drugs used for HIV/AIDS prevention, with some exceptions.
