Bill > S630

This bill aims to ensure access to specialty medications. It establishes a procedure for the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy to license specialty pharmacies that dispense specialty medications within the state. The bill requires specialty pharmacies to designate a pharmacist in charge responsible for the pharmacy's compliance, and mandates that pharmacies outside of the state must obtain a specialty license to prescribe, ship, or dispense drugs in Massachusetts. Additionally, the bill prohibits carriers from prohibiting the dispensing of specialty drugs by any licensed pharmacy that can meet the drug's handling and administration requirements, and requires carriers to allow any network pharmacy to provide specialty drugs on the same reimbursement terms.
