SB 360, the Consumer Prescription Protection and Accountability Act, a PBM reform bill that gives the Department of Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt, a pharmacist, more enforcement tools on audits, spread pricing and patent choice of pharmacy, was heard in the Senate Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee on January 28 and 29. NACDS submitted a statement of support.
Also in Kansas, at the January 29 hearing in the House Health and Human Services Committee, NACDS was on the record in support of HB 2157, which would expand pharmacists' scope of practice to test and treat for COVID-19.
