Changes the laws regarding the dispensing of contraceptives

AI Summary

This bill changes the laws regarding the dispensing of contraceptives. It allows pharmacists to dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, under a prescription order for medication therapy services. The bill requires pharmacists to complete training on dispensing these contraceptives, provide a self-screening risk assessment tool for patients, and refer patients to their healthcare provider at least once per year before dispensing the contraceptives. The bill also specifies that all state and federal laws governing insurance coverage of contraceptives apply to the self-administered hormonal contraceptives dispensed by pharmacists under this new provision.
