HB 2068, an omnibus bill incorporating key pharmacy-supported provisions from HB 2676, HB 2740, SB 322 and SB 431, passed both legislative chambers and was signed into law by Gov. Laura Kelly (D). The bill expands pharmacists’ prescribing authority under standard of care regulations and permits remote pharmacy services by pharmacy technicians.
Also in Kansas, SB 20 known as the Kansas Consumer Prescription Protection and Accountability Act, was signed by Gov. Laura Kelly (D). The PBM reform bill gives the Insurance Commissioner increased enforcement authority to regulate PBMs, establishes a rate floor of NADAC plus the Medicaid professional dispensing fee rate of at least $10.50 for all pharmacies, mandates that drug rebates pass through to health plans and bans spread pricing.
Finally in Kansas, the Department of Health and Environment (Medicaid) issued a provider bulletin 26030 announcing the adult immunizations reimbursement rate increased on 14 vaccinations, effective April 1, 2026.
