Bill > HB06501

This bill aims to enhance consumer choice in pharmacy services by requiring insurance companies to provide covered individuals with at least three pharmacy options within a five-mile radius of their residence. Specifically, the legislation mandates that when a person needs to fill a prescription, their insurance provider must ensure they have access to at least three independent or retail pharmacies nearby. This provision is designed to give patients more flexibility in choosing where they obtain their medications, potentially improving convenience and access to pharmaceutical services. The bill would modify existing insurance regulations to guarantee this minimum level of pharmacy accessibility, helping consumers have more control over their healthcare options and potentially reducing barriers to obtaining necessary medications.
