Bill > S1369

This bill establishes a 2-year pilot program for specialty pharmacy in urology. The Department of Public Health and the Board of Pharmacy will develop the criteria for participation, including requiring practices to accept MassHealth patients. The program will allow urology practices to operate specialty pharmacies to provide medications for urological conditions, with the goal of improving patient access, costs, and adherence. The Department and Board will select participating practices based on factors like patient payer mix, demographics, and ability to address health equity. After the initial 2-year period, they will evaluate the program's results and may renew it for another 2 years if they determine it is in the public interest.
