NACDS sponsored the Missouri Pharmacists Association’s Day at the Capitol. MPA’s priority bill, HB 834 by Rep. Dale Wright (R) that regulates PBMs, passed the House and was referred to the Senate Government Accountability and Fiscal Oversight Committee rather than the Senate Health Committee. More information can be found here.
Also in Missouri, the Board of Pharmacy issued a final rule effective May 30, 2021, that allows additional time to fulfill prescription transfer requests from parties other than the patient. The rule requires transfer requests to be completed in a timely manner and ensures no interruption in patient therapy.
