SB 192, broad healthcare legislation that includes a provision allowing pharmacy personnel to provide any immunization recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to patients 11 years of age and older under a physician protocol, was referred to the Committee on Health and Provider Services.
Also in Indiana, NACDS sent a support letter for HB 1327, legislation that will provide transparency and audit authority needed to make PBMs accountable to the organizations that hire them. NACDS asked the Committee to reject any amendments that would allow PBMs and Third-Party Administrators to charge a “carve out fee” for not using an affiliate pharmacy owned by or invested in by a PBM or Third Party Administer.
