Bill > A1835

Introduced Session

This bill requires pharmacy practice sites to document reasons for not filling certain prescriptions. Under the bill, if a pharmacy practice site determines that a patient's prescription is unlawful, the pharmacy practice site is to cite the law that it determines was violated, briefly explain and record this determination in the pharmacy practice site's patient profile system, and make the determination available to the patient and the patient's prescribing physician or health care professional within 72 hours of the pharmacy practice site's decision to not fill the patient's prescription. Nothing in the bill is to be construed as granting a pharmacy practice site the power to supersede the lawfully exercised authority of a patient's prescribing physician or health care professional, or as granting a pharmacy practice site the authority to promulgate internal operating procedures or rules that are less or more stringent than what is prescribed by State law.
